Train At Valencia CF. Come Back A Different Player.
Your child trains daily with CF Cracks Spanish academy coaches, trains alongside Spanish academy players their own age, walks out onto the Mestalla pitch, watches live LaLiga football from the stands, and experiences a football culture unlike anything in Australia.
Most trips send a team over to play together. We immerse your child inside real Spanish academy football, in their own age group.

Is This For You?
Who Is the Spain Tour For?
Three types of families apply for the Spain Pathway. All three come back with a story they'll tell for life.
The Football Dreamer
Show Them What's Possible
Your child talks about football constantly. They have the poster on the wall. They watch the highlights before school. This trip makes that world real — Valencia CF coaches, certificates from the academy, watching live LaLiga from the stands. It changes what they think is possible for themselves.
The Serious Trainer
They've Earned Something Unforgettable
They show up every week. They do the homework. They take coaching seriously. This is the reward — and the next level of challenge. Training side-by-side with Spanish academy players their own age reveals exactly where they stand and what they need to reach further.
The Big Investment
Ready to Invest in Their Future
You're not looking for another local comp or a holiday with a ball. You want an experience that develops your child as a footballer and as a person — confidence, perspective, international friendships, and a genuine understanding of what elite football demands. This is that investment.

Five Experiences That Change Everything
This is not a soccer camp. It is an elite development immersion at one of Europe's most respected football academies.
Academy Training
Train With Spanish Academy Players
Train alongside Spanish academy players of your age group — same drills, same standard, same pitches. Form genuine friendships and experience what an international football career actually feels like.
UEFA-Licensed Coaches
Learn From Pro Valencia Coaches
Be coached by UEFA Pro-licensed Valencia CF coaches who have developed players competing at the very top of the game. Not a camp coach — the real thing.
Valencia CF Paterna
Train Where the Pros Train
The same pitches used by the Valencia CF professional squad. Watch seniors and juniors train up close. Last year our players took photos with the Valencia CF women's first team.
Live LaLiga Match Days
Watch Live LaLiga Football
Sit in the stands and watch professional football at its highest level — LaLiga, Liga F (women's), and Valencia CF junior matches. We build the itinerary around live LaLiga football; exact fixtures confirm closer to the tour, once LaLiga releases the April schedule.
Iconic Venue
Mestalla Stadium Tour
Walk through the changerooms, sit on the substitute bench, step through the tunnel onto the pitch. Your child will feel exactly what it means to play at this level.
Football brought them here. These are the moments the whole family will be talking about for years.
