Travelling The
World Of Sport
With XL's Nick Dunbar
One of the best things about sport and especially the game of
soccer is that it is universal and pretty much played everywhere
you can find a place to kick a ball. The beautiful game presents us
with the opportunity to speak a common language and also find
out more about the world we live in. How many people for
example know capitals of countries around the world by the
name of their soccer team? How many of us have a favorite team
in each country? Well what if you had the chance to travel there
and play against them, train with them and see them play whilst
taking in all the culture of the surroundings? For almost 20 years
XL Sports Tours has been providing groups from around the
world with the chance to do just that. Our passion for travel led
us to start a tour company so that we could provide the very
same experiences that made us fall in love with soccer and sport.
Our starting point was to imagine our perfect tour experience and
then build from there.
Why are you looking to travel?
There are many reasons why groups choose to take a tour and
even more providers offering to deliver the experience of a
lifetime but before you decide there are some really important
questions to ask. Where and when would you like to visit, are you
interested in player and coach development, do you want to play
in a tournament or enjoy games against teams from around the
country, are you more interested in soccer or cultural activities?
Every organization is different so before you decide on a tour
itinerary make sure the group you are working with design a
custom program that meets your goals.
