Spain Soccer Tours for Florida
Florida has nonstop service to both Madrid and Barcelona, a youth soccer pipeline anchored by Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC academies, and a Hispanic soccer culture that runs deeper than almost anywhere else in the US. Odisea Tours hosts Florida soccer programs across South Florida, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville on tours that take full advantage of the short flight and the language edge most Florida families already have on landing.
01 / Flying from Florida
How Florida groups actually get there.
Florida is the only US state with nonstop service from a single airport (Miami International) to both Madrid and Barcelona. Iberia and American run MIA to Madrid (around 9 hours) year-round. Level and American run MIA to Barcelona (around 10 hours) year-round. From Orlando (MCO), groups typically route through Miami or one-stop via Madrid. From Tampa (TPA) and Jacksonville (JAX), groups connect through Miami or Charlotte.

02 / The Florida soccer landscape
Where Florida soccer already plays.
Florida Youth Soccer Association is one of the most active state bodies in the country, and ECNL fields more than ten Florida clubs across both genders. MLS Next is anchored by Inter Miami CF's academy (the most-watched US youth academy of the last three years) and Orlando City SC, with strong affiliate programs in Tampa and Jacksonville. The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) runs the high school season from November through February, which leaves the spring and summer windows open for international travel. The college pipeline includes ACC, Sun Belt and Conference USA programs (Florida State, Miami, UCF, USF, FAU, FIU, FGCU).

06 / Three reasons Florida teams pick Spain
01
Miami is the only US gateway with nonstop service to both Madrid and Barcelona. No transfers, no missed-connection risk.
02
South Florida families read Spanish signage, order meals in Spanish, navigate Spanish hotels and cities without friction. Half the cultural-onboarding work is already done before the plane lands.
03
The La Liga culture in South Florida homes makes Spain the obvious first international tour for any ambitious Florida club, and Inter Miami CF's rise has made the European-pipeline conversation urgent.
07 / When Florida teams travel
The travel windows that actually work.
Spring break (mid-March to early April) and the late summer window (early August before FHSAA preseason) are the two most-booked windows for Florida youth clubs. FHSAA high school soccer's November through February calendar means most Florida school programs travel in early summer or the December break. College programs typically travel in late September.

Questions Florida coaches ask first.
How long is the flight from Florida to Spain?
Miami International (MIA) runs nonstop service to both Madrid (around 9 hours) and Barcelona (around 10 hours) year-round on Iberia, American and Level. Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville groups connect through Miami or one-stop through Madrid.
Does the tour fit around the FHSAA high school soccer calendar?
Yes. FHSAA high school soccer runs November through February. The two ideal windows for Florida school programs are spring (March-April) and early summer (June through mid-July). Both leave the school season untouched.
What does a Spain tour from Florida cost per player?
A 10-day Spain soccer tour from Florida sits between roughly $3,295 and $4,100 per player for ground services. The lower end of that range reflects the shorter flight time from Miami and the lower airfare base, which is typically the lowest of any major US metro.
Do you work with Inter Miami CF or Orlando City SC academies?
We work with academy-affiliated clubs and reserve programs across Florida. We do not represent ourselves as an official partner of Inter Miami CF or Orlando City SC and do not promise fixtures against their reserve sides. Our fixtures are against Spanish academy or amateur sides matched to your age and level.
Which Florida cities have detailed planning pages?
Miami has a dedicated tour-planning page covering flight routes, local soccer context and tour formats. Clubs from Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and the Treasure Coast are welcome and we route flights from the nearest gateway airport.
