Fancy
a kickabout in the Baltics? Riga became the 12th
European tournament destination on the eurofootballfives.com
circuit in September 2016 and the first to be
held in the Baltic country of Latvia.
The
tournament proved a huge success as we extended
the original capacity no less than 3 times as
the tournament draw surged to 24 teams with England,
France, Latvia and Lithuania all represented.
Our
Baltic debut was so popular we booked in Vilnius
for September 2017 and Riga again for May 2018.
The
tournament is a 5-a-side football tournament aimed
at teams of a social / amateur standard. So, whether
you are a 5-a-side team, 11-a-side team, a team
from work, on a stag weekend or just a group of
mates looking to play some friendly yet competitive
football whilst on tour - this is for you. A weekend
of travel, football and beers - what more could
you ask for?
So,
why Riga? The Old Town dates back to 1201
and has been included as a UNESCO World Heritage
site. The Old Town is characterized by narrow
cobbled streets which snake through the classic
architecture and beautifully restored buildings.
You will also find historic passageways within
the fortress walls. The Old Town, similar to that
of Krakow, is best enjoyed on foot.
OK,
so that's the culture out the way which you can
tell those at home so they are not on your case
when you tell them you are going on tour. Now
for the details you really want to know….
The
Riga nightlife scene is very diverse, extending
from the dingiest pub to the hottest club, with
plenty of surprises in between. There are courtyard
bars, huge indoor fashion clubs and cutting-edge
dance venues are scattered throughout the city.
Another feature of Riga nightlife is that there
is no rush. There is always time to get an after-hours
drink in and things often only get going after
midnight. In other words, it is well worth staying
up past your normal Friday night bedtime.
