Join
some of the legends and stars of the game and
play football in Barcelona!!
Sit
down with a blank piece of paper and think of
all the legends and stars of the world game that
have applied their trade in Barcelona. You can
probably note down a good couple of dozen without
thinking - Cruyff, Guardiola, Koeman, Laudrup,
Ronaldo, Romario, Stoichkov, Maradona, Ronaldo,
Figo, Luis Enrique, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Deco,
Giuly, Eto'o, Marquez, Lineker, Puyol, Thuram,
Zambrotta....the list could go on.
While
we can't secure the Camp Nou for you to play in
we can arrange a tournament in Barcelona for you
and we have secured a very good venue. If you
want to visit the hugely impressive Camp Nou we
can arrange a stadium tour for you. Depending
on how La Liga fixtures pan out we can also obtain
(subject to availability) tickets for you to visit
the mighty Barcelona FC. If Barcelona are away
this weekend, we can look at getting you tickets
for Espanyol as an alternative.
Putting
football to one side, Barcelona itself is a fascinating
city awash with historical and modern art and
culture and not to mention one of the most cosmopolitan
and vibrant cities in Europe. The city has a certain
buzz to it both during the day and the evenings
when the night scene bursts into life. If you
never get the chance to visit Barcelona during
your life you have definitely missed out.
Tournament
Venue
The Barca Fives will be held at the Maddock Sports
club which has specialist 5- and 7-a-side pitches.
The pitches are new generation artificial grass
laid on a bed of rubber fibregel balls/pellets.
The venue is a great quality venue and perfect
for the tournament.
Prices
The
prices below are based upon flights into and out
of Barcelona International Airport (BCN). Flights,
predominantly Ryanair, are availabile into Girona
and Reus airports as well. For these airports
we do not include airport transfers as these prove
extremely expensive plus there are buses that
meet the flight and transfer you to central Barcelona
which works out much more efficient and economical.
