Olimpia Tour runs school and club sports tours to Argentina, with a team based in Buenos Aires that knows the country's football, rugby and hockey inside out. Sport is part of daily life here. Clubs are busy every evening, weekends are full of matches, and young players grow up with a deep love of the game.
That makes Argentina one of the best places in the world to take a team. Your players train with experienced local coaches, play matches against clubs and schools of a similar level, and see how a sporting nation lives and breathes its sport. Between sessions they discover Buenos Aires, a big, friendly city full of history, music and food. We plan the whole trip, from flights and hotels to training venues, matches, meals and sightseeing, so you can focus on the team.
School rugby tours to Argentina
Argentina has a strong and growing rugby culture, with hundreds of clubs and a big school rugby scene around Buenos Aires. A school rugby tour gives your squad hard, fair matches against local school and club sides, coaching sessions focused on skills, set piece and defence, and a real taste of the friendly club culture, often with a shared meal after the game.
We match opponents to your age groups and level, so every game is competitive. See all our rugby tours.
Football tours to Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is one of the great football cities. Youth academies here have produced some of the best players in history, and the passion on match day is something every young player should feel once. Our football tours include training with academy-level coaches, friendly matches against local youth teams and a live professional match in one of the city's famous stadiums.
Explore our football tours, or bring your coaches on a coaching clinic tour to learn how Argentine academies develop players.
Hockey tours to Argentina
Argentina is one of the strongest hockey nations in the world, for both girls and boys. Clubs have excellent synthetic pitches and a deep pool of skilful young players. A hockey tour combines technical coaching sessions, matches against local clubs and schools, and plenty of time to enjoy the city. It is a brilliant destination for girls' school teams.

FAQs
Which sports can we tour in Argentina?
Football, rugby, hockey and golf are our main sports in Argentina. We can also add other sports or a coaches’ programme on request.
When is the best time to tour Argentina?
Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons match Australia. Autumn and spring (March to May and September to November) are the most comfortable for training and matches. Winter suits rugby and hockey seasons, and summer is ideal for golf in the south.
Is Argentina safe for school groups?
Yes, with good planning. Our team is based in Buenos Aires, groups travel on private transfers, stay in hotels we know well and have local support on call 24/7.
How long should a tour be?
Most school and club tours run 8 to 14 days. Ten days is a good balance of training, matches and sightseeing, including time to recover from the long flight.
How much does an Argentina sports tour cost?
Price on request. The cost depends on group size, travel dates, hotel standard and the number of matches and sessions. Tell us what you need and we will send a clear quote.
Can parents and supporters come too?
