Based on previous years, the group will attend five professional games. There will be three EPL and two EFL games.
The fixtures will be released at the end of June. We will know at that point the fixtures we can potentially attend before they are moved for TV.
The games will be adjusted for the TV schedule and GoPlay will work to finalize the match schedule.
The match schedule will be announced
Please arrive into London in the morning of December 27th. You will be responsible for your transportation to the hotel. The trip will start at 1pm.
The trip will end in London, but we may travel from Liverpool on that day, depending on the match schedule. Please book your flight from 2pm onwards.
If this is an issue, please get in touch with GoPlay for assistance

‘Travel smart: add cancellation cover today’
Travel plans don’t always go as expected - flights get canceled and delayed, events get changed at the last minute, and sometimes life simply gets in the way. Without protection, a last-minute change could leave you heavily out of pocket.
That’s why adding Trip Cancellation Insurance is one of the easiest ways to travel worry-free. With coverage, you can:
Stay protected in case a player sustains injury or illness, in case of emergencies, or unexpected events
Get reimbursed for non-refundable flights and land package costs
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your trip investment is safe
For just a small addition to your booking, you’ll gain the reassurance that no matter what happens, your trip is protected
‘Don’t let canceled plans cost you’
Protect you and your family from unforeseen events that could force you to cancel your trip from the very start. Don’t leave your trip of a lifetime to chance - secure your plans today!
WeTravel & Trip Information
All your trip details will be updated on the app. Timings and updates will be provided closer to the departure date.
Avoid printing your itinerary as it may change—use the app for real-time updates.
Hotels & Rooming
Room assignments are based on your registration or school/club preferences. Parents paying for single rooms will have it honored, while players traveling without a parent will share a room with teammates.
Players will share twin rooms, never sharing beds. Depending on the hotel, family rooms may consist of two rooms.
Meals
GoPlay prioritizes eating at local restaurants, except for late arrivals or pre-game meals.
Dietary requirements should be updated on your WeTravel site and confirmed with your tour manager on arrival to ensure proper accommodations.
Tour Manager
A GoPlay tour manager will be with you 24-7. We will share their information 24-48 hours before departure.
Currency
The most common form of payment will be via contactless credit card payment.
Cash—We do not want you to have a lot of cash on hand, but having some money for small purchases, such as water at a local store, can be helpful.
Mastercard and Visa cards are standard in Europe. If AMEX and Discover are your primary card sources, we recommend a backup. They are only 75% covered in Europe.
Staying Connected
During the tour, the group will communicate via WhatsApp.
We recommend purchasing a compatible converter for the country you are visiting to use your electronics and chargers.
Check your cell phone plan to see if it includes international data. We recommend purchasing a plan before you leave to stay connected during the trip.
