Soccer, being the world’s most popular sport, presents many great international sporting event vacation oppportunities. Since there are few great soccer matches held domestically (Sorry MLS, you do not count), traveling abroad is necessary to see great soccer matches. So why not take a family vacation to international soccer matches? Here are the best places to watch great soccer.
Premier League Matches
England is home to some of the world’s best club soccer. The league features the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. The English Premier site offers a helpful travel section. If your interested in traveling to England (maybe a London family vacation ?), there is going to be a soccer match somewhere that will suit your liking.
UEFA Champions League
This annual league championship is arguably the most important sporting event that takes place in Europe. Club teams from all over Europe compete for this prestigious trophy. If there was ever a major soccer event to travel for, this is it. In 2007, the championship will be held in Moscow, Russia, and in 2008 it will be held in Rome, Italy. (Fits right into other Rome family vacation ideas)
The Euro 2008
If you thought that you couldn’t travel to a more intense and important soccer tournament in than the UEFA championship, you’re wrong. The Euro 2008 is a once-every-four-years event, a lot like the Olympics and World Cup. It’s a tournament between international European teams that will be held Austria and Switzerland for pretty much the entire month of June in 2008. Family vacations and travel to the Euro may be borderline dangerous, since international soccer matches often bring riots and family unfriendly events.
All in all, traveling to soccer matches is a great way to entertain your family members and children (teens).
