Join us in the Maldives for something a bit special, with our Football Course running between 26th and 30th October 2026. October half term, done properly, with football built into it.
At Siyam World, the Football Escapes experience feels different. You’ve got white sand, clear water, and space to properly switch off, alongside a football programme that keeps the kids active, engaged, and loving it.
Each morning starts on the pitch, where children train with Gary Cahill and our UEFA licensed coaches in a relaxed, supportive setting. It’s focused, but still fun, and it suits all abilities. While that’s happening, parents get time to enjoy the island, whether that’s overwater villas, quiet beaches, or a long lunch without rushing.
Then the afternoons slow things down. Time together, exploring the island, getting out on the water, or just doing very little at all.
The week builds nicely as it goes on. Shared experiences like the Parents’ Game, Q&As, FE Games Night and medal celebrations give it a rhythm, and bring everyone into it.
How it works
You book your full holiday through Football Escapes, and we take care of everything else. That includes your stay at Siyam World, access to the football course, and flights if you need them. It’s all handled in one place.
Most families stay for 7 nights or longer, with the Football Course running Monday to Friday.
To guarantee your child’s place on the course, the holiday needs to be booked through Football Escapes.
Every Football Escapes holiday includes:
- Five days of morning coaching sessions led by Gary Cahill and our expert coaches
- Signed shirt from Gary Cahill (per family)
- Personalised video message for your child before you travel from one of our ambassadors*
- Pitchside photo with Gary Cahill
- Exclusive Football Escapes Nike kit for every child with their name and number on the back!
- Q&As, FE Games Night, the Parents’ Game, medal ceremony, and more
Swap the grey of October for sunshine, football and proper family time. Half term doesn’t get much better than this.
