Know Before You Pay

A+ · Outstanding on paper88/100

Cheap against the sport median, terms that leave the risk with the organizer, and a verified operator. There is nothing on the record here to be careful about.

How this is calculated

How much of this is published

Fully published4 of 4

This organizer publishes all four terms facts, so the grade rests entirely on stated figures.

The four gradeable facts are the entry fee, the refund policy, the hotel requirement and the guaranteed game count. Anything the organizer leaves out is priced at the middle of its range rather than counted against them — most operators quote on application, and a grade that punished silence would be reporting our own missing data as their failing.

Attendee Rating

4.1/5

3 reviews · 100% would return

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Reviewers here averaged 4.1 out of 5. The published figure is 4.1 because a rating from a handful of reviews is pulled toward the directory average until there are enough of them to stand on their own — which is what stops one glowing review putting an event at the top of the table.

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Organizers may answer a review in public, and their responses are labelled and shown. They are excluded from every average, count and return rate here, so an operator cannot move their own rating.

What to expect

Six games on grass against a genuinely strong domestic field, at a cost per game near the bottom of the soccer set. No hotel requirement. Reviews from visiting teams flag pre-arrival communication in English as the weak point, and the twelve-pitch site means long walks between fixtures.

What a player gets seen doing

Some exposure

14.1 / 22 exposure points

Some of what a player needs to be seen is published, though not the full set.

  • Scouts and college coaches attend

    The organizer states that college, junior or pro scouts attend. Ask for the list of who came last year before you book on this alone.

  1. Domestic field is the draw

    Rodrigo Sampaio Cardoso · Coach · Santos Base Sub-15 · attended 2026

    5/5

    Six games against Sao Paulo club sides for the price most events charge for three. Referees were federation appointed and controlled the games well. The site has twelve pitches and we walked a long way between fixtures in January heat.

  2. Superb football, difficult admin from abroad

    Fiona Ravensworth · Team manager · Guildford Athletic U15 · attended 2026

    4/5

    On the pitch this was the best week our squad has had. Off it, the pre-arrival emails were in Portuguese, our questions about insurance took two weeks to answer, and the laundry service we had paid for did not appear until day three. Once we arrived, everything worked.

  3. Good value and well attended by scouts

    Thiago Menezes de Alencar · Parent · Campinas Uniao Sub-13 · attended 2025

    4/5

    Accredited scouts were at the older age groups, which is part of why clubs enter. For our Sub-13 it was simply six good games on grass. No gate fee and the canteen was reasonable.
