Why a Football Trip is a Great Team Building Experience

Many companies understand the importance of team building which is why it’s increasingly common to see events organised by for staff. Whilst there are many suitable options, a football break with colleagues is one that will connect you in a way that only football can. The only thing that you need to decide on is the destination, and the game will take care of itself. Make sure you book a football break with us if you would like to create unforgettable memories and have a fun action packed trip. For groups of more than 10 people, we take care of all of the logistics for you, including flight, accommodation and match tickets, so you can have the most convenience when booking a trip with us.

Get to know your colleagues like never before and break boundaries

Whilst you may spend a lot of time with your colleagues in the office environment, how much do you actually know about them personally? When there are no work tasks and pressure with deadlines to be complete, you can start to see a different side to the people you work with. Whilst on a trip you have a greater chance to discuss new topics due to time availability, and can find out new interests and hobbies. The importance of showing staff in your company appreciation through a trip away is invaluable, as the effect on team morale and productivity is proven to be stronger afterwards. This is also a fantastic opportunity to get to interact with colleges you have little contact with such as those who work in different departments. Ultimately, the outcome should mean that the whole staff are more connected and that the company culture is therefore enhanced. And we all know football is a very special sport that creates links between people.

Experience the emotion and adrenaline of a football game

Sport and football in particular can bring people from all types of backgrounds regardless of age, nationality and gender together as one. During these 90 minutes you are deeply invested in the outcome of the game and will feel the passion and desire of the home support with a loud atmosphere generated. It is almost impossible to not be drawn into the emotion of the game and alongside the rest of your team, you will go through an intense match, experiencing the highs and the lows of supporting a football team live. This adrenaline rush will mean that you will experience a range of emotions during the game as a team which can bring you more together. Think of it as a show: the anthem, the superstars, the fans (supporting or booing their team) and the unexpected outcome of this particular theatre.

Discover a new country and go out of your comfort zone

We offer football breaks to endless amount of European destinations including Barcelona, Paris and Rome just to name a few. Going to a completely new destination or to a foreign country will challenge your communication and language skills and ability to adapt and be flexible. You will be able to have a sense of adventure as you explore new streets and scenery as well experimenting with the local cuisine on offer. Moreover, during this period of time you will be far away from your family and close friends, which means that you will rely on your colleges for social contact throughout the day which can deepen your work relationships as you spend more quality time with them.

Experience VIP hospitality at a football club

Although a VIP hospitality package is more expensive, this is something that has to be considered if you want to make your staff feel special and have a unique bucket list experience. We offer VIP packages for the majority of teams and this allows you to enjoy the matchday experience with extra comfort. This will usually involve an excellently located set of seats, and a significant amount of food and drink for you to take advantage of. This package also means that the matchday experience can start earlier and finish a couple of hours after the game, meaning you will have more time to enjoy the game. This is a package that your staff will certainly appreciate if you book for them, as it shows them you value each individual highly within the company by giving them the opportunity to attend this event.

Create new memories with your company

The trip itself may just be a few days, but the memories and moments that you made together will last much longer. Even after the teambuilding event has finished, you will be able to talk in the office about that time you all went to watch a football game together in a foreign country and recall all the funny stories that happened on your trip. This experience will make you closer than ever before to your colleges and create a stronger team spirit. Do not hesitate any longer and book a football break with us as a teambuilding activity!
