Join us in Greece with our Football Course running between 3rd and 7th August 2026 for an incredible family holiday — with football at its heart.
Our Football Escapes experience at the five-star IKOS Odisia is designed to give the whole family a holiday to remember. With luxury surroundings, golden beaches, and expert-led football sessions, it’s the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.
Each morning, your children will train with our UEFA-licensed coaches and former Premier League winger Aaron Lennon, while you enjoy everything the resort has to offer — whether that’s the spa, poolside peace, or simply soaking up the sunshine.
Afternoons are all about time together. From exploring the resort to joining in the activities, there’s plenty to keep everyone smiling.
And with highlights like the Parents’ Game, medal ceremony and our fun FC25 night, it’s more than just a football camp — it’s a proper summer escape for the whole family.
