What makes the SOCCACUP in Izola so special

TEAM TRIP WITH SUITABLE ACCOMMODATION

EXCELLENT SPORTS FACILITIES & PROFESSIONAL ORGANISATION

INTERNATIONAL TEAMS & A TRUE TOURNAMENT ATMOSPHERE

FAMILY-FRIENDLY TRAVEL & LEISURE OPTIONS

The two tournament venues in Izola and Piran are among the standout highlights of the SOCCACUP. In Piran, the football pitch is situated on a hill right by the coast. From there, the view stretches out across the Adriatic Sea. The venue in Izola is also situated on high ground. From the sports ground, the view takes in large parts of the town all the way to the coast. This gives the tournament matches at both venues a character all of their own, directly linking football with the landscape of the Slovenian Riviera.

It is precisely these backdrops that give the football tournament in Izola its special character. Depending on the tournament schedule, there is time between matches for a walk by the sea, a visit to the historic streets of Piran, or a trip to Portorož and Koper. The accommodation is also situated right on the coast, offering opportunities to spend free time together by the water.

In spring in particular, the Slovenian Riviera thus combines the atmosphere of an international tournament with surroundings that are a world away from the usual football routine back home.

"The pitches in Izola and Piran are extraordinary simply because of their location. Playing football while looking across the town or directly over the Adriatic gives the tournament a very special atmosphere."

Stefan Fastlabend, SOCCACUP Tournament Director
