The Campus

Join us in Portugal with our Football Course running between 18th and 22nd August 2025 for a family holiday to remember — with football at its heart.

Our Football Escapes experience at The Campus in Quinta do Lago brings together five-star hotels, world-class training, and proper family time — all in the stunning Algarve sunshine.

Each morning, your children will train with Premier League legend Ledley King and our team of UEFA-licensed coaches at The Campus — one of Europe’s top performance centres. While they’re on the pitch, you can relax back at the hotel, enjoy a spa treatment, explore the beaches, or simply switch off by the pool.

In the afternoons, it’s about time together — family lunches, coastal walks, or just watching the sun go down with a drink in hand.

There’s something for everyone. From the famous Parents’ Game to Q&A sessions, medal ceremonies, and more — this is a full family escape, not just a football course.

Where you’ll stay

Choose from two exceptional resorts:

Conrad Algarve:

A haven of modern elegance, this luxury resort offers award-winning dining, a renowned spa, and beautiful surroundings. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or discovering the local area, Conrad Algarve delivers an unforgettable family experience.
