Travel Expectations:
When booking your trip, keep in mind that you’ll be traveling outside the United States to a region with its own customs, traditions, and culture. Some of the sporting amenities we’re accustomed to in the U.S. may not be available in other countries.
We strive to provide the best the area has to offer! Some of our trips feature highly competitive tournament play, while others focus on sharing the love of soccer and fostering global connections. Either way, you’ll serve as an ambassador for soccer and ABSA!
We encourage you to research your destination to enhance your experience. Tools like Google Street View are a great way to explore the area in advance.
Important Note:
All travelers under the age of 18 MUST travel with a parent or guardian.

Why Travel Insurance is Important:
Travel insurance is strongly encouraged when traveling with ABSA.

Be sure to select a policy that includes coverage for COVID-19-related cancellations and delays, as well as any other needs specific to your trip.
Our Recommendation:
We highly recommend speaking with a travel insurance agent to ensure your policy is tailored to your needs. A knowledgeable agent can address any questions or concerns you may have, including those related to COVID-19 coverage.
