Football & Sports Tours for Adult Amateur, Masters and Veterans Teams: The 2027 Guide

Sports tours are not just for schools and academies. Adult amateur clubs, over-35 and over-45 squads, masters teams and veterans sides tour all over the world — and many say it is the best week of their sporting year. A club tour combines matches against like-minded opponents with professional games, great food, culture and a lot of laughs. This guide answers the questions club secretaries and team organisers ask when planning an adult or veterans tour.

Olimpia Tour organises tours for adult amateur, masters and veterans teams in football, rugby, hockey, cricket, basketball and golf, and we operate worldwide. Every trip is tailored, so costs are always on request.

Key Takeaways

• •Adult and veterans tours are a growing market — fixtures and masters tournaments exist all over the world.
• •Decide early whether the trip is competitive, social or both; it shapes everything else.
• •Match opponents by age and standard so games are enjoyable and safe.
• •Add a professional match, stadium tour or golf day to make the trip memorable.
• •Let an operator handle flights, hotels, transport and group payments so the organiser can enjoy it too.

Do veterans and masters teams really go on tour?

Yes — in large numbers. Masters and veterans football, rugby and hockey are thriving, and many clubs run a tour every season or two. There are also international veterans and masters tournaments in Europe, Asia and elsewhere.

Competitive or social?

Some squads want tough, competitive fixtures; others want one or two relaxed games and plenty of time off the pitch. Agreeing this up front avoids disappointment and helps us pick the right destination and opponents.

Best destinations for adult and veterans football tours

• •Spain — sunshine, great food, quality pitches and La Liga match tickets.
• •England — the home of football, pub culture and Premier League or EFL games.
• •Portugal — relaxed, great value, with Benfica and Porto on the doorstep.
• •Argentina — a bucket-list football culture, asado and a superclásico atmosphere.
• •Japan and Thailand — a completely different cultural experience with excellent organisation or great value.

How are fixtures arranged?

We source opponents from local amateur, veterans and masters clubs matched to your age group and standard, and book pitches, referees and post-match hospitality — often the best part of the day. Alternatively, we can enter your team in an international masters or veterans tournament.

Other sports

Veterans rugby, masters hockey, social cricket and basketball clubs tour too, and golf societies love combining rounds with sightseeing. See our golf tours and club sports tours.

Making it stress-free for the organiser

The hardest job on any adult tour is organising it. We handle flights, hotels, transfers, fixtures, match tickets, activities and group payment schedules, and provide an on-ground coordinator, so the organiser gets to enjoy the trip. Duty of care still matters for adults — insurance, medical access and emergency planning are all covered. Read our duty of care guide.
