Join us in Greece with our Football Course running between 18th and 22nd August 2025 for an unforgettable family holiday, with football at its heart.

Our Football Escapes experience at the luxurious IKOS Aria blends five-star comfort with a week of football, fun, and quality time as a family.

Premier League favourite Anton Ferdinand will be coaching on the course alongside our UEFA-licensed team, helping children sharpen their skills and enjoy the game in a relaxed, supportive setting.

Each morning, while the kids are on the pitch, parents can slow down with poolside relaxation, spa time, or breakfast with a view. In the afternoons, it’s all about enjoying your time together — whether that’s exploring the island, heading to the beach, or simply soaking up the sunshine.

There’s more than enough to get involved in. From the always-popular Parents’ Game to group Q&As, medal celebrations, and family moments that stay with you — this is a holiday for everyone, not just the footballers.

How it works

You book your full holiday through Football Escapes, and we take care of everything else. That includes your hotel stay, access to the football course, and your flights if you need them. One booking, zero stress.

Most families join us for 7 nights or more, with the football course taking place between Monday and 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 summer break that gives everyone something to smile about. Football, sunshine, and proper time together — exactly how it should be.
