INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
Loudoun Soccer has partnered with WorldStrides Sports to provide international educational soccer tours and experiences for our membership. These trips are specifically curated to suit our members' needs.
Our players and families will have opportunities to compete against top international teams, access world-renowned youth academies and facilities, and expand their horizons through soccer culture.
Through our WorldStrides Sports partnership we have visited several countries, most recently traveling to Lisbon, Portugal in 2024. In past years, our teams played friendly games against local teams abroad, while enjoying an international experience.
WorldStrides is planning a fan trip this summer to the Women's Euro being held this summer in Switzerland and Italy. If you are interested in joining this trip, please register for their informational Zoom meeting being held Thursday, February 13 at 7:30 pm.

International Tours Testimonials
The Loudoun Soccer 2012G Portugal trip was a trip of a lifetime, for the girls and families. I have received so much positive feedback from the players and families. Our Tour Director Alex was absolutely fantastic, and we all really connected with her. The trip was very organized, very well planned out, and everything went off very smoothly from our departure, during our visit, and to our return home. Our bus driver Bruno was absolutely fantastic as well, and we all really enjoyed having him as a part of our team for the week." – Royce Brodie
"Unbelievable experience. From planning, scheduling, level of competition, and personable and kind tour guides, WorldStrides is TOP NOTCH!" – Fro Adu
