01 / Who It Is For
Summer 2027 is being planned for competitive players ages 12-18, with a mid-to-high preferred level. Individual families and organized teams may inquire.

For Players
Players experience new coaching ideas, different opponents, futsal, club settings, stadiums, and the daily rhythm of football in Rio.
Ask About Summer 2027
Do not have a full team? One family can still inquire. Julio will review the player's age, current level, and the needs of the group being formed.
02 / Feel The Tour
Days move between training, matches, futsal, club grounds, and stadiums, with Copacabana, Sugarloaf, Corcovado, food, music, and time together woven in. Football is the reason for the trip. Rio makes it something the whole family can share.
03 / What Comes Home With Them
Adapt to different coaching, tempo, space, and expectations while receiving direct feedback.
Club staff have shown interest in some past participants. Any next step depends on the player's level, fit, timing, eligibility, and the club. The tour creates a real environment to be seen, not a promise of a trial or contract.
For Coaches And Team Leaders
Instead of arriving, playing, and going home, your team spends nine days training, competing, recovering, and living the game together. Julio works directly with coaches to discuss the roster, competitive level, travel window, and goals for the experience.
Youth clubs and academies
Bring an existing age group into the experience together.
High-school teams
Combine preseason development, competition, and team culture.
Family-supported travel
Parents and guardians can join the group.
Future college departures
Start planning a dedicated experience around a college roster and calendar.
04 / Nine days in Brasil
Open a day to see the schedule, the football, and where the group goes.
The group is met at the airport and driven to Rio Othon Palace. The first day stays light: settle into the rooms, walk the Copacabana beachfront, and share dinner before the football begins.
This is the shape of a recent departure. Opponents, clubs, stadium access, cultural activities, and the order of days are subject to change with the confirmed Summer 2027 schedule.
05 / Where The Group Stays
Players and accompanying families stay at Rio Othon Palace, the tour's Copacabana home base. The group has one place to eat, recover, regroup, and prepare for each day's football, with the beach just outside.
Breakfast is served at the hotel before the group leaves for training. Meals and organized transportation are included in current tour planning, so families are not rebuilding the day on their own.

Pricing, dates and inclusions are confirmed departure by departure. Julio walks families through the numbers before anything is paid.
