Before you go

• Italian clubs often group age categories by birth year, so check your players fit the organiser's categories before you enter.
• Check eligibility. Many European events group players by birth year rather than U-age, so confirm the category with the organiser before you enter.
• Ask exactly what is included. Overseas packages usually bundle hotel, meals, transfers and entry, often priced per person rather than per team.
• Check passports and entry rules on GOV.UK foreign travel advice for Italy before booking, including passport validity for every player and adult.
• Take consent forms, emergency contacts and medical information for every under-18, and make sure your club's safeguarding policy covers the trip.
• Get travel insurance that covers sports injuries and cancellation. A UK GHIC covers state healthcare in the EU and some other countries, but it is not a substitute for insurance.
• Confirm dates, fees and conditions with the organiser. We summarise public information, but the organiser has the final word.

How do UK teams enter tournaments in Italy?

Open the event you are interested in and use the contact or entry details shown. Most organisers take applications by enquiry form or email, then confirm availability, the package and payment dates. Applying is usually not a commitment to attend.

How much does it cost to play in Italy?

It varies widely. Overseas tournaments normally price accommodation and meals together with the entry fee, so we do not show a single price. Ask the organiser for a quote that covers players, coaches and any parents travelling.

How far is Italy from the UK?

About 2 hours to Milan, 2.5 hours to Rome. Local time is 1 hour ahead of the UK.

When do youth tournaments take place in Italy?
