Join us in the Maldives with our Football Course running between 18th and 22nd December 2025 for an unforgettable family holiday — with football at its heart, led by West Ham legend Mark Noble.
Our Football Escapes experience at Siyam World offers something truly unique — combining expert football coaching with barefoot island luxury. With endless activities for the whole family, it’s the perfect setting for a pre-Christmas escape.
Each morning, your children will train with our UEFA-qualified coaches and Mark Noble, developing skills, building confidence, and enjoying time with one of football’s most respected figures. While they’re on the pitch, you can relax in paradise — snorkelling the reef, enjoying the spa, or simply soaking up the sunshine with a good book.
Afternoons are about quality time together, exploring all that Siyam World has to offer. Whether it’s waterslides, paddleboarding, beach picnics, or cheering on the grown-ups in the Parents’ Game — this is a proper family holiday, not just a football course.
How it works
You book your full holiday through Football Escapes — and we take care of the rest. That includes your hotel stay, access to the football course, and flights if you need them.
Family holidays are usually for 7 nights or more, with the Football Course taking place 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 December break that’s as relaxing for parents as it is exciting for the kids. Football, sunshine, and time together — the way it should be.
