EUROPEAN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TOURS

PlayHard Sports Tours are a Specialist Sports Tour Organiser based in England arranging tours and tournaments for European professional clubs.
We arrange pre-season tours & friendlies for professional UK clubs travelling to Europe and we also arrange for professional European clubs to play in pre-season tours, friendlies & testimonials in the UK.

Damian McGrath, managing director of the company, holds the UEFA Match Agent License allowing fixtures and tours to be arranged between professional European clubs. Under UEFA rules, a professional club has to either make all tour arrangements themselves, which can be hard work and very time consuming, or have a UEFA Match Agent Licence holder organise everything.

We are primarily a “Tour Operator” licensed to arrange flights and packages, so all aspects of a tour can be undertaken within one company.

Over the last few years we have arranged tours for Watford FC, Queens Park Rangers FC, Huddersfield Town FC, Sheffield Wednesday FC, Coventry City FC, Preston North End FC, Scunthorpe Utd FC, Carlisle Utd FC, Wycombe Wanderers FC, Swindon Town FC, Stockport County FC, Oldham Athletic FC, & Grimsby Town FC.

For UK clubs we can offer most destinations to Europe, including Scandinavia, Germany and Austria or warmer weather places like Spain, Portugal and France. You can take part in an organised tournament or play 1 – 3 friendlies depending on the duration of your visit.
Alternatively, if you would like to receive a European club at your home ground here in the UK, we can arrange this for you.

For European clubs we can arrange tours to England during the "pre-season" which is between the end of June up to the first week of August, to play in "friendly" matches against professional English teams.
Also, we are looking for potential clubs in Europe who would like to receive English professional clubs in their own country for pre-season matches or tournaments.

Please contact our office on: +44 (0) 1943 464297 or email info@playhardsports.co.uk if you are interested in any of our services in arranging a pre-season tour for your club.
