International Trips
International trips are a vital part of our programmes, offering invaluable life skills and problem-solving opportunities to our young athletes. These trips provide boys and girls with the chance to travel independently, often for the first time without their families, fostering independence and responsibility.
Every boy and girl at Alliance gets the opportunity to travel with the team, regardless of their abilities. Since our establishment in 2015, we have taken players to destinations such as Sweden, Denmark, England, Spain, Qatar and Serbia. These experiences not only broaden their horizons but also teach them to be independent, responsible, and committed team members without any babysitters.
Some of our destinations:
Gothia Cup Sweden, 2017,2019,2022
Valencia Spain, 2018,2019,2023

Our trips are not just about football. They are about building character and life skills. Activities like "Alliance Reads," where players visit the local library and spend an hour reading their favorite book every day before matches, help instill a love for learning and personal growth. These trips are a blend of sports, education, and cultural immersion, ensuring our players return home as well-rounded individuals ready to take on new challenges.
We believe that these experiences are essential for developing problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility. Our commitment to providing these opportunities to all players, irrespective of their skill levels, underscores our dedication to holistic development. At Alliance, we prepare our young athletes not just for the game, but for life.
