We create memorable experiences for families, where both children and adults can immerse themselves in the joy of football while enjoying activities for all ages and staying at incredible resorts.

Our Vision

Our vision is to become the top choice for families seeking the ultimate football holiday experience.

At Football Escapes, we’re dedicated to offering unique experiences in the world’s best handpicked family resorts and most beautiful locations, creating lasting memories for every family.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide families and football enthusiasts with an exceptional football holiday experience in the most family-focussed resorts worldwide.

We bring together the expertise of football legends with high-quality accommodation and a personalised service. Our goal is to inspire young people, delight families, and elevate the standard of football holidays through our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our service.

Our Journey

Since 2017, Football Escapes has grown rapidly. Founded by Sam Hubert and Bobby Zamora, we quickly attracted other football professionals.

Rio Ferdinand and Mark Noble joined the business, helping us expand and enhance our offerings.

Today, we continue to innovate and improve with every holiday we book, always aiming to exceed the expectations of our guests.

Our Future

With growing demand, we’re excited to bring more ambassadors on board and expand to new resorts worldwide.

We’ll continue to share the magic of Football Escapes with families everywhere, in new destinations across the world, no matter which team they support.

Beach Aerial View

When I was at Chelsea, I frequently participated in first team tours and worked closely with brands like Adidas and Samsung to connect them to football players. I saw firsthand the positive and engaged reactions from children, families, and the wider community. This sparked an idea: what if we could replicate this experience in the holiday market, where nothing like this existed?

We wanted to create a place where children too old for traditional kids clubs could attend Football Escapes, get coached by professionals, meet new friends, learn something new, burn off energy, and have an unforgettable experience. But we didn’t stop there. Recognising that adults love to play too, we included parents in the fun with games and activities, bringing the whole family to the party.

In 2017, Bobby Zamora and I founded Football Escapes and began building the product, improving with each course we ran. Our dedication and passion attracted the attention of other professionals, and soon, Rio Ferdinand and Mark Noble joined as business partners. Together, we have continued to refine and expand Football Escapes, creating a truly unique and memorable experience for families.

Looking ahead, our vision is to bring Football Escapes to more destinations worldwide, providing our guests with the ultimate football holiday, whilst being committed to providing the quality of experience we know our customers love.

Thank you for being a part of the Football Escapes family. We look forward to welcoming you on one of our incredible holidays soon.
