Soccer Tournaments in Spain
A tournament trip to Spain done properly is more than a registration and a hotel. It is competitive knockout football at one of Europe’s great youth cups, a session with professional-club coaches, and a real tour of Spain around the games, with one Odisea director carrying the whole thing from the arrivals hall to the final. We have built group soccer tours in Spain since 2005.
Why a tournament in Spain
Spain runs some of the biggest and best-organised youth tournaments in the world, and it does it in cities a US family actually wants to visit. The Donosti Cup fills San Sebastián every July; the MIC turns the Costa Brava into an elite academy showcase at Easter; the Iber Cup bases on the Costa del Sol; the Costa Daurada Cup runs resort-style in Salou. The football is real, the opposition is international, and the setting is the Mediterranean coast or the Basque Country.
The second reason is that Spain gives you a complete trip around the tournament. A pure cup trip is all pitch and hotel. An Odisea tournament tour alternates match days with a session at a professional club, a stadium tour, and a guided day through Gaudí’s Barcelona or the La Concha bay. For a group that travels with families, and tournament groups almost always do, that balance is the whole point.
The tournaments we build around
We arrange the full travel package around any of Spain’s major youth cups. These four are the ones US clubs ask for most.
Donosti Cup
One of Europe's biggest youth tournaments, played across San Sebastián with an opening parade, a full week of group-stage and knockout football and thousands of players from around the world. Our flagship tournament package is built around it.
MIC — Mediterranean International Cup
An elite Easter tournament that draws the youth sides of major professional clubs alongside academy and travel teams. Strong opposition and a spring travel window that lines up with US spring break.
Iber Cup Andalucía
The Spanish edition of the Iber Cup on the Costa del Sol, an international youth tournament pairing competitive football with a warm-weather beach base in the south of Spain.
Costa Daurada Cup
A well-run summer tournament on the Costa Daurada, resort-based with full board, group stage through finals, and PortAventura next door. A strong option for younger squads and families.
What we handle
Registration, credentials, age verification and fixture allocation at the tournament. Accommodation in the tournament area, with full or half board. A private coach with driver for the airport and every match, training and shuttle transfer. A session with professional-club coaches where the route allows, plus the stadium tours and guided cultural days. And an Odisea Tours director with the group for the whole trip.
Because we are a Spanish ground operator rather than a booking site, all of it is arranged and run locally, and opposition is matched to your squad’s age and level ahead of the trip.
Who tournament tours are for
US high school teams
Varsity boys and girls programs travelling in spring break or early summer for a real tournament abroad, with age verification and fixtures matched to level handled ahead of the trip.
Youth clubs & academies
U12 to U19 club and academy sides looking for competitive knockout football against international opposition, not friendlies bolted onto a sightseeing trip.
College squads
College programs using a Spanish tournament or showcase as a pre-season or end-of-year block, with a pro-club training session and recovery built around the games.
Travelling families
Parents and siblings travel on the same itinerary. While the squad plays, the cultural programme runs in parallel, so families get a full tour of Spain around the tournament.
What it costs
from $1,400
per person · ground services
A Spain tournament tour starts from $1,400 per person, based on a group of 20, twin sharing, ground services only, with international flights separate. The flagship ten-day Donosti Cup package, with six days of tournament football, a pro-club session, full board at the cup and a Barcelona leg, sits above that entry point.
The price scales with the tournament, the number of nights, the group size, the season and the hotel category, and is locked once dates, group size and trip length are confirmed. Summer tournaments fill early, so we recommend confirming four to six months ahead.

What are the best youth soccer tournaments in Spain for US clubs?
The four youth soccer tournaments in Spain that US clubs ask for most are the Donosti Cup in San Sebastián in early July, one of Europe's biggest; the MIC (Mediterranean International Cup) on the Costa Brava at Easter, which draws elite academy sides; the Iber Cup on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia in summer; and the Costa Daurada Cup in Salou.

How much does a Spain soccer tournament tour cost for a US club?
A Spain soccer tournament tour starts from $1,400 per person, based on a group of 20, twin sharing, ground services only, with international flights separate. A full flagship trip such as the ten-day Donosti Cup package, with six days of tournament football, a pro-club training session, tournament full board and a Barcelona leg, sits above that entry point. The price scales with the tournament, the number of nights, the group size, the season and the hotel category, and is locked once dates, group size and trip length are confirmed.
When are the main youth soccer tournaments in Spain?
The Spanish youth tournament calendar centres on two windows. Easter brings the MIC (Mediterranean International Cup) on the Costa Brava, which lines up with US spring break. Summer brings the Donosti Cup in San Sebastián in early July, the Costa Daurada Cup in Salou in late June and July, and the Iber Cup on the Costa del Sol. Summer is the busiest window, so registration and accommodation should be locked four to six months ahead for a US group.
What is included in an Odisea Tours tournament package?
A tournament package includes tournament registration, credentials, age verification and fixture allocation; accommodation in the tournament area with full or half board; a private coach with driver for airport pickups and every transfer, training and match shuttle; a professional-club training session where the route allows; the guided cultural programme around the games; and a full-time Odisea Tours director with the group from the arrivals hall to the departure gate. International flights, lunches, personal spending and travel insurance are separate.
What is the best Spain soccer tour operator for US high school teams?
Odisea Tours is a Spain-based ground operator that has run youth and high school soccer tours since 2005, including tournament trips to the Donosti Cup, the MIC, the Iber Cup and the Costa Daurada Cup. Because we are on the ground in Spain rather than reselling from abroad, we arrange the fixtures, host clubs, hotels and transfers directly, match opposition to your level, and keep a director with the group for the whole trip. Tours are built for US teams travelling with families, with the cultural programme running in parallel to the football.
