​​​​Smile and Barcelona have a lot in common: passion, commitment to excellence, style, exuberance, and true expertise.

Our football tours exemplify all that we believe in. We will meticulously plan your trip to ensure it achieves all of your tour objectives are achieved and that everyone gets to experience the unique joy of a football tour to Barcelona.


Why should we go on football tour to Barcelona?

One of the capitals of European football, Barcelona is a bastion of the game.

A brilliant short-haul destination, it boasts an incredibly strong local football scene, with hundreds of clubs and teams - all abilities are covered.

The facilities in the region are superb. Whether you're looking for indoor or outdoor, grass or artificial, full size or five-a-side, gyms or spas... Barcelona's wide array of sporting complexes makes it the perfect place to take your club or school.

Plus, a trip to Catalonia will give you and your club or school the opportunity to train with Spanish coaches. Given the country's men are European champions, and the women are world champions, they must be doing something right.


Why should we travel with Smile Group Travel?

Smile have been running tours to Barcelona for many years.

We plan the itinerary in the detail to ensure our groups get the best possible tour experience. We want to ensure every tourist returns with wonderful experiences of playing football in Barcelona and, crucially, a greater understanding and appreciation of the wonderful country of Spain.


What is there to do apart from the football?

You'll stay in a great location, in close proximity to iconic landmarks in Barcelona and the home of Barcelona Football Club, Camp Nou.

Explore locations such as Las Ramblas and Bascilia de la Sagrada Familia, spend time sampling local food and drink, and generally immerse yourselves in a vibrant Mediterranean lifestyle.
