This action-packed tour offers young athletes the chance to train with the Real Madrid Foundation through three exclusive clinics, where they'll hone their skills with expert coaches.
School Pro Training Football Tour to Real Madrid Foundation
Training sessions will take place at the Real Madrid Sports City. Your students will train with Real Madrid Foundation coaches whose sessions will be built around the Real Madrid Foundation methodology.
Experience the thrill of playing a friendly fixture against local opposition and explore two of Madrid's iconic football stadiums with self-guided tours of the Santiago Bernabeu and the Wanda Metropolitano, complete with visits to their famous club shops.
Of course, you’ll still have time to soak up the sights and culture of Spain’s magnificent capital city, including visits to the Royal Palace, the Almudena Cathedral and the Mercado San Miguel. So much more than a school football tour, this is an experience your students will never forget.

Let's chat!
For our first international sports tour since 2019, I was incredibly happy that we had Halsbury as our provider. Our rep, Maria, made us feel in safe hands. The students had a fantastic experience and the feedback we have had is saying that they will have memories that will stay with them for quite a while. Touring Atletico Madrid’s stadium, training at Real Madrid’s elite facilities and then exploring the city itself was a pleasure for staff too.
