Lisbon Youth Cup

October half term doesn’t have to mean cold pitches, familiar opponents and another week of “more of the same”. It can mean playing under blue skies in Lisbon, facing international opposition, training at one of Europe’s most iconic academies and giving your players a football experience they’ll talk about for years. The Lisbon Football Youth Cup combines competitive international football with one of Europe’s most exciting cities. With teams from across Europe, North America and beyond, it’s a true test of ability, character and team spirit – wrapped in a tour that blends football, culture and unforgettable moments.

“Just recently been to Holland with SLT Tours for our U11’s football team and Lee was our representative member of staff. He was absolutely amazing, any issues (not that we had any as it was planned that well), clarification on information was not a problem for Lee, he would be more than happy to help. He is such a down-to-earth lovely person. From start to finish it was packed with fun activities for the kids and everything ran so smoothly thanks to the organisation. I would not hesitate to use this company and Lee again! Made the best memories for my family with their help. ”
“We recently travelled with SLT Tours for our club’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday stopping off at Old Trafford and the Etihad arena! The experience from start to finish was top-class. From the moment we set off, the journey was smooth, well-organised, and hassle-free. Everything ran on time, and it was clear that SLT had put real thought into the logistics. The whole Bangor Swifts Juniors travelling (96 players, parents, coaches combined) appreciated how seamless everything was. It made the matchday experience even better knowing we didn’t have to stress about transport, what we were getting up to or where we needed to be! We would absolutely recommend SLT Tours to any club or group looking for reliable travel with a personal touch.”
“Barnsley FC Foundation Phase had a fantastic trip to Scotland, playing games and stadium tours along the way. The trip from start to finish was excellent with everything running smoothly. All players and staff who travelled were all taken care of. SLT managed the whole trip from booking to arrival home, thanks to Jamie and Jake for all their help and support. ”
“Jamie, Jake and the rest of the guys at SLT were amazing for our boys’ football trip to Holland at Easter. They were very attentive, eased the process for us throughout and no requests were ever difficult for them. Wouldn't hesitate to book through SLT tours in the future, a great team!”

“We recently took a group of 112 students and 12 staff on a trip organized by this company, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly professional and helpful throughout, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved. The trip offered amazing opportunities for all students, with top-class training sessions, competitive matches against local Spanish opposition, and access to incredible facilities. It was great to see the students so engaged, and the schedule also allowed teachers time to relax and enjoy watching the students train and perform. There was a perfect balance of structured activities and downtime, including a memorable tour of a major stadium, which added to the overall experience. We would definitely recommend this company and are already looking forward to using them for future trips. Every student and staff member returned home happy and full of great memories! ”
