The match is the reason for the trip. We build everything around it — the ticket, the hotel, the golf, and the people you share it with.
For 38 years, Executive Global Tours has built custom sports travel, first and foremost for fans travelling from the USA and Canada. Our football tours cover Premier League and Champions League match trips across England and Europe, plus Celtic and Ireland football trips — every one built per fixture, with a match ticket sourced through legitimate hospitality channels, a central hotel, and a choice of hospitality tiers.
And because a football trip is rarely only about the football: travelling companions get a full programme of their own — the city, the food, the shopping and the sights — while the fans live the matchday. Two tracks, one group, shared dinners and shared stories.
Hosted by Legends
On our hosted weekends, a former player — or a face you know from football television — travels with the group and hosts the whole weekend: the welcome dinner, the stories, the matchday build-up. Not a brief appearance before kick-off; your host is part of the trip from the first evening to the last.
Three Ways to Travel
The Match Break
The classic, done properly: an official-channel ticket and a central hotel, in a trip built for fans flying in from North America — sensible timing, transfers handled, and time to enjoy the city around the game. Premier League and Champions League fixtures, home and away.
Hospitality at the Match — Hosted by a Legend
The premium weekend: lounge hospitality at the match — the best seats, food and drink the stadium offers — and a legend who hosts your group for the full weekend: dinner, stories and the build-up to kick-off. For groups, celebrations and corporate trips where the match deserves the full treatment.
Manchester: Two Stadiums, One City
Our flagship. Manchester-area golf combined with a Manchester United and/or Manchester City match weekend — and the both-clubs version is the one we love most: one city, two stadiums, two of world football’s famous grounds in a single trip, with derby weekends when the fixtures allow. Golf on the non-match days, and a city’s football story told properly.
France Football Legends & Supporters Tours (Soccer)
EGT’s premium France football category, built for American and Canadian supporters, alumni groups, former professional players, football clubs and corporate groups. This is more than attending a match. The experience stack: VIP sporting experiences at France’s great grounds; weekends hosted by former international players, who travel with the group and host its events; stadium visits behind the scenes; excellent hotels; French food and wine as part of the programme, not an afterthought; sightseeing in the great football cities; and exclusive hosted events across the weekend — the EGT game-watch night among them.
French football has become one of Europe’s great away-day countries: huge grounds, fierce atmospheres and cities worth the trip on their own. The club shapes below sit under this category — every one is a sample: fixtures are framed as “when the calendar puts the club at home,” kick-offs in France move for television, and your weekend is confirmed against the real fixture before anything is booked. EGT is an independent tour operator; we are not an official partner of any club or league, and club names appear here simply because they are where the fans want to go.
The France Football Experience Stack
Every France football weekend can be built from the same ten-part stack, shaped around your fixture, your group and your dates:
- Ligue 1 matches — in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Monaco, Lille, Rennes, Strasbourg and Nantes.
- Rivalries and derbies — Le Classique, the Paris derby and the Derby du Nord.
- VIP/premium hospitality — premium seating and hospitality where available.
- Guided stadium and museum tours — Parc des Princes, Stade de France and the great Ligue 1 grounds.
- Meet former French international footballers — hosted weekends and sporting discussion, with no footballer named and none signed.
- Legends dinners and Q&A sessions — built to order for your group.
- Historic stadium visits — Stade de France, Stade Velodrome and Stade Louis II.
- Training and coaching experiences — built on request where available.
- Riviera, Paris and Mediterranean sightseeing — the coast, the capital and the cities in between.
- Combine football with wine, gastronomy and luxury travel — a full France weekend, not just a match.
Paris Saint-Germain — The Full Hub (Parc des Princes, 47,929)
The headline act. A PSG sample weekend: arrive Friday, Paris at leisure and an EGT welcome dinner; Saturday is match day at the Parc des Princes in the 16th arrondissement — the Virage Auteuil in full voice — with hospitality options for groups who want the lounge rather than the stand; Sunday adds the stadium tour, a non-matchday anchor that works even on a weekend when PSG are away, and departure. Two premium lines sit on top of the standard shape: Champions League nights, the biggest evenings in Parisian football and the first to sell; and hospitality-only weekends for fans who have their own hotel sorted and want EGT for the match-day piece alone. And Paris now has a second story: Paris FC, back in Ligue 1, play at the Stade Jean-Bouin — literally across the street from the Parc des Princes. The Paris derby is one of the closest in world football: two top-flight stadiums separated by a single road. When the calendar puts that fixture on, it is a weekend of its own. Our dedicated page: Paris Saint-Germain tour experience.
Le Classique — PSG v Olympique de Marseille (Sample Campaign Shape)
The fixture French football is measured by: Paris against Marseille, capital against port, the loudest rivalry in the country. It happens twice a season — once at the Parc des Princes, once at the Vélodrome — and both versions are weekends EGT builds as campaigns, not add-ons: a three-night shape, the group hosted end to end, the EGT game-watch night for fans travelling without a ticket, and the city programme built around the match rather than squeezed beside it. Register your interest for the next Classique in either city and you hear from us when the fixture list lands — these weekends are planned from the day the calendar is published.
Olympique de Marseille — The Vélodrome (67,394)
France’s largest club ground and, by common consent, its most intense atmosphere. A Marseille sample shape: base in the Old Port, a match at the Vélodrome with the north and south curves in full cry, a boat morning in the Calanques, and bouillabaisse where it was invented. Marseille shapes are built on request around the fixture you pick — tell us the opponent and the month, and we build the weekend.
Olympique Lyonnais — Groupama Stadium (59,186)
A modern 59,186-seat stadium in France’s gastronomic capital — the football weekend that eats best. Sample shape: Lyon base, match at the Groupama Stadium, a bouchon dinner, the old town and the Rhône; the same city hosts the European rugby finals weekend in May 2027, so Lyon is a two-sport town on our calendar. Built on request around your fixture.
AS Monaco — Stade Louis II (around 18,000)
The smallest big weekend in Europe: top-flight football in a principality, at the intimate Stade Louis II in Fontvieille, with the Riviera as the supporting programme — Nice and the Côte d’Azur pair with Monaco naturally, and OGC Nice home weekends are a shape of their own on the same coast. Monaco shapes run on request and suit smaller groups and couples best.
LOSC Lille — Stade Pierre-Mauroy (50,186)
A 50,186-seat arena with a retractable roof in one of France’s friendliest football cities, two hours from Paris by road and less by train. Lille’s great rivalry is the Derby du Nord against RC Lens, whose Stade Bollaert-Delelis is famous across Europe for the most authentic popular atmosphere in French football — a Lens home weekend is a connoisseur’s trip. Lille and Lens shapes are built on request.
Stade Rennais — Roazhon Park
Rennes is a lively Breton capital with a strong Ligue 1 following. Sample shape: base the group in Rennes, with a Stade Rennais match at Roazhon Park, guided sightseeing in the historic centre and a Breton dinner, built on request around the fixture.
RC Strasbourg Alsace — Stade de la Meinau
Strasbourg brings Alsatian character to a Ligue 1 weekend. Sample shape: base the group in Strasbourg, with an RC Strasbourg match at Stade de la Meinau, guided sightseeing in the old town and Alsatian food and wine, built on request around the fixture.
FC Nantes — Stade de la Beaujoire
Nantes is a Loire city with a deep football tradition. Sample shape: base the group in Nantes, with an FC Nantes match at Stade de la Beaujoire, guided sightseeing along the Loire and a local dinner, built on request around the fixture.
How an EGT Football Weekend Is Built
Same model as our hosted tours everywhere: the group travels hosted, with former international players hosting Legends & Supporters weekends; the fan event is part of the package, listed like a ticket — the EGT game-watch night, where the group gathers the evening before the match, is an inclusion, not an extra. Deposits on hosted trips sit in escrow. Tell us the club, the fixture and the size of your group, and we will shape the weekend and price it — call (914) 979-2247.
Sample Tours — France Football, Built to Order
Two sample shapes, built in the order our groups actually travel them. Every tour is built to order around your fixture, your group and your dates — tell us the club, the match and the size of the group, and we shape the tour and price it. Call (914) 979-2247.
