Venue
In addition to the SOCCACUP tournaments, we have been organizing training camps for professional and amateur clubs for many years. With over 1,800 teams per season, SOCCATOURS is the most successful organizer in Europe.
One of the secrets of our success is that the quality of the natural and artificial turf pitches is particularly important to us. That's why we have exclusive contracts for over 30 football pitches around Lake Garda, including 10 artificial turf pitches. This means we can always guarantee the best possible pitch quality.
We are therefore the only organizer that can offer a 100% tournament and match guarantee for our youth football tournaments, even in bad weather.
Map
Important: For each age group from U10-U17 there is a fixed tournament location on Lake Garda, so that only short distances have to be covered between accommodation and the venue. For all small field teams, the route to the tournament games leads to the Stadio Rovizza in Sirmione. The large field teams can look forward to playing their tournament games on the best natural grass pitches in the region at the Hotel Veronello in Lazise.
Activities
Beyond the pitch, the SOCCACUP at Lake Garda has plenty to offer. While the kids enjoy thrills at Gardaland or cool off in the lake, parents can relax by the water, sip local wine, or explore charming old towns. Whether it’s sightseeing, shopping, or soaking up the sun – there’s something for everyone. La dolce vita included.
