Welcome

Educational Sports Tours

Welcome to Global Football. We provide football players of
all ages, their coaches, families and supporters, the
opportunity to participate in high-profile events around
the world. Through an extensive network of football
contacts and business partners, Global Football has
developed a broad spectrum of games, tournaments,
tours, camps and bowls, each targeted to a specific age
group and talent level.
Hope you can join us!


Patrick Steenberge
Coach,
My name is Patrick Steenberge and I played
Quarterback and lettered two seasons under coach Ara
Parseghian at Notre Dame. It was at school that I
learned the importance of team work and also of the
power, influence and importance of international travel.
Global Football is an international sports travel
organization providing the opportunity for young
amateur athletes from different countries to compete
against one another, while experiencing and learning
firsthand about each other's cultures, customs and
history.
At Global Football we believe in, and indeed see every
year, the incredible effect of educational sports travel.
At the beginning of each new football season hundreds
of our travelers (players, staff, coaches, family, fans
and friends included) return home better citizens, more
confident, more enthusiastic in the classroom and on
the playing field; more engaged in the world around
them; better prepared for life and more likely to make a
difference to each other as team mates.
Lead an educational sports tour with us and you’ll get
your students’ attention and keep it. And best of all
you’ll make a difference in their lives. I encourage you
to contact one of your fellow coaches who have traveled
with us to hear what their experiences were.
Happy trails!
Patrick Steenberge
President Global Sports Group.

Day 1 – Fly to Athens


Rome

It's hard to say what you'll find most breathtaking
about the eternal city - the arrogant opulence of
the Vatican, the timelessness of the Forum, the top
speed of a Fiat Bambino, the millions of cats in the
Colosseum, trying to cross a major intersection, or
the bill for your latte.
Sightseeing in Rome is exhilarating and exhausting.
That it wasn't built in a day is quickly evident when
you start exploring the temples, residences,
basilicas, churches, palazzi, piazzi, parks, museums
and fountains. All this and the Vatican too!


Athens

Redolent with mythology, smeared with grime,
Athens is an affable city enlivened by outdoor
cafes, pedestrian streets, parks, gardens and urban
eccentrics. If you get into the Athenian mindset,
you might not even notice the layer of nefos
(smog) overhead.
Modern tourists have the ancient Athenians to
thank for the ease of getting to major landmarks
around the city. Old Athens was miniscule
compared to today's sprawling metropolis, which
means that all the must-sees are conveniently
huddled together in a fairly easy-to-manage
rectangle.

Rome

Endowed with the legacy of 2700 years of history, Rome is
one of the world’s greatest archaeological sites. We will see
the Roman Forum and Coliseum and soak up the atmosphere
of the Piazza Navona, studded with fountains and lined with
tempting cafes. Seek out the Trevi Fountain, almost hidden in
a maze of streets. Other famous sites include the Spanish
Steps, the perfectly proportioned Pantheon and the massive
memorial to the first King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele.
Although only 440,000 acres in size the Vatican State
contains some of the best known works of art in the world,
housed in some magnificent buildings. Our tour will take in
some of the extensive collections of the Vatican Museums
and of course the Sistine Chapel, its ceiling painted single-
handedly over four years by Michelangelo. We also visit St
Peter’s Basilica, heart of the Catholic church and one of the
most impressive in the world.
