02 / Melbourne soccer, meet Spain

Why Greater Melbourne clubs build the off-season around a Spain tour.

Victorian soccer is split across NPL Victoria, the State League system and the school sport network through ACC, AGSV and APS competitions. Melbourne winters in July and August are exactly when Spain hits a quieter training window, which gives Odisea access to better facilities and coaches than the high A-League months. Most Melbourne tours we run align with the July school holidays.

Clubs we serve in your area

Clubs across the inner suburbs, the bayside, the eastern corridor, Geelong, the south east and the northern suburbs.

Ideal group types

03 / Three reasons Melbourne teams pick Spain

Direct connections from Melbourne to Madrid and Barcelona through Doha or Dubai mean a single stop and a Spain arrival inside 24 hours from MEL.

Australian winter aligns with Spain's quieter training calendar. Same La Liga clubs, easier slot bookings, lower vendor rates passed back to the group.

Melbourne school sport competitions and APS sides slot the tour into the July holiday window without missing a domestic round.
