When families arrive at a Football Escapes holiday, there’s already an air of excitement. The first training session on the pitch has set the tone for the week – boots are laced, personalised kits are on, and smiles are all around. But once the sun begins to set on day one, the energy doesn’t stop. That’s when the Football Escapes experience takes a whole new turn with one of our most loved traditions: the FC25 Night.
A Night for the Kids
After a day of football under the sun, the FC25 Night is all about the kids letting loose in a different way. Day one may be over, but the fun is only just beginning. The kids come together with their new teammates (and newly found friends) for an evening filled with laughter, excitement, and plenty of games.
The knockout-style competitions might spark a little friendly rivalry, but the focus is always on teamwork, fun, and shared experiences with the night guaranteed to have everyone cheering – and an electric atmosphere all round. And to make it even more special, the kids are often joined by their Football Escapes ambassador, who gets stuck into the action and adds an extra layer of excitement. And for those who come out on top in the games, there’s an extra reward waiting – a special personalised FC25 Winner T-shirt, a keepsake they’ll be proud to wear long after the holiday ends.
Even siblings who aren’t taking part in the week’s football coaching are welcome to join in, ensuring every member of the family can share in the spirit of Football Escapes – just one of the many extras that make our holidays so unique.
More Than Just Football
At its heart, FC25 Night is designed to be the perfect balance to the action-packed days of training. It’s a chance for the young players to relax, celebrate their first day of Football Escapes – and the new skills they’ve learnt, and connect with their new friends in a fun, laid-back environment. They’ll swap stories, cheer each other on, and build friendships that often last long after the holiday ends.
Parents can join the fun too – many love coming along to watch the competitions, soak up the atmosphere, and see the children enjoying themselves. But just as importantly, the FC25 Night also gives parents the opportunity to take an evening for themselves.
Time for Everyone
Whilst the kids are fully immersed in games and activities, parents have the freedom to enjoy everything our luxury locations and resorts have to offer. Whether it’s sipping cocktails at sunset, indulging in a romantic dinner, or simply enjoying a quiet walk along the beach, it’s the perfect time for parents to relax and recharge – and enjoy some well earned downtime.
This balance is what makes Football Escapes so special: the kids get to live out their football dreams and have fun with their new friends whilst the parents can enjoy some time to themselves. With the FC25 Night, every member of the family gets their own moment.
The Perfect Start to the Week
Taking place on the very first evening of our courses, the FC25 Night sets the tone for an unforgettable week ahead. By this point, the kids have already taken part in their first training session – learning new skills, enjoying fun drills, and soaking up invaluable tips from their ambassador and our UEFA-licensed coaches. That evening, the excitement continues as they dive straight into a night full of energy, games, and laughter. It’s their first big chance to bond, and it always sparks the kind of friendships and memories that last all week long.
By the time the final whistle blows on FC25 Night, new friendships have blossomed, the ice is well and truly broken, and the kids are already excited to get back on the pitch the next morning. For parents, it’s the ultimate reassurance – knowing their children are happy, settled, and making amazing memories. It’s also a perfect chance to unwind and reconnect – whether that means exploring the local area, enjoying a show or evening entertainment, or simply relaxing in the resort’s world-class facilities. However they choose to spend the night, they can do so with complete peace of mind while the kids are busy having the time of their lives.
Our FC25 Night is more than just a highlight of the week, it’s a tradition that ensures every Football Escapes holiday is as enjoyable for parents as it is for kids. With laughter, friendly competition, and the chance to take home a one-of-a-kind FC25 Winner T-shirt, it’s the perfect blend of fun, freedom, and family time – and just one of the many special extras that make our Football Escapes holidays truly unforgettable.
