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.

Wyndham Grand Algarve:

Set in the heart of Quinta do Lago, this five-star retreat is built for families. With spacious suites, kids’ facilities, outdoor pools, and easy access to nature trails and the beach, it’s a brilliant base for your Football Escapes trip.

Both hotels are just five minutes away from The Campus by shuttle — keeping everything simple, smooth and stress-free.

How it works

You book your full holiday through Football Escapes — and we manage the rest. That includes your hotel stay, access to the football course, and flights if needed.

Most families book for 7 nights or longer, with the Football Course taking place from Monday to Friday.

The only way to guarantee your child’s place on the football course is by booking your holiday stay through Football Escapes.

Every Football Escapes holiday includes:

  • Five days of morning coaching sessions led by a football ambassador and our expert coaches
  • Signed shirt from the ambassador (per family)
  • Personalised video message for your child before you travel from one of our ambassadors*
  • Pitch-side photo with the ambassador
  • Exclusive Football Escapes Nike kit for every child with their name and number on the back!
  • Q&As, FC25 night, the Parents’ Game, medal ceremony — and more

Let us help you plan a proper family holiday — one packed with football, sunshine, and quality time together.
