The History of the World Cup
Academy by AMsportstours
The World Cup Academy by AMsportstours originated in South Africa in 2010 when over 100 young players enjoyed coaching, a foreign experience with other kids & families and live World Cup Games in Cape Town South Africa.
The second World Cup Academy took place in Buzios, just outside Rio De Janeiro in 2014 during the World Cup in Brazil where over 600 players, parents and coaches enjoyed a fabulous experience at the World Cup.
The 2015 Girls-Only World Cup Academy in Canada is our first Academy which will allow USA players, parents and coaches to attend Live games in the last 16 and quarter final stages. All coaches are pro or college coaches offering the highest level of training.
AMsportstours in Brazil! AMsportstours hosted the World Cup
Academy in Buzios and Rio de Janeiro this
summer.
This was the biggest youth sports project held
in Brazil during the World Cup and proved to
be an unbelievable experience for the 600
people who attended.
The Academy was based in the beautiful city
of Buzios and included trips to Rio, training
with top coaches and playing against
Brazilian players. A phenomenal experience!
Over 600 people in the
Maracana, Rio de Janeiro
AMsportstours World Cup Academy in Brazil
also included tickets to some of the best
games of the tournament. The 600 people on
the trip saw Messi score, Chile beating the
former World Champions Spain, a stunning
Germany vs. France quarter final and
witnessed the goal of the tournament when
James Rodriguez scored the stunning volley
against Uruguay!
An unforgettable, once in a lifetime
experience!
Vancouver Voted the Top Destination in Canada in TripAdvisor's
2014 Travellers' Choice awards,
Vancouver offers travellers both outstanding
opportunities for outdoor adventure and the
sophisticated amenities of a world-class city.
Visit the famous Stanley Park, the largest in North
America or spend time on its easily accessible beaches.
You can also see the BC Stadium Hall of Fame Museum
or take in the stunning views on the Capilano Suspension
Bridge.
For those who like to shop, Vancouver has an endless
array of classy boutiques to large malls that will cater for
everyone.
Whistler Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is Canada’s favourite year-round destination.
There are two majestic mountains with a vibrant base, four championship golf courses, unbeatable shopping, restaurants and bars, hiking trails, spas
and arguably the best mountain bike park in the world. Whistler is the ultimate place to escape and unwind.
Future World Cups…... AMsportstours Women’s World Cup Academy in
Canada will be a fantastic experience not to be
missed and a great opportunity to be part of the
world cup in a country with a strong passion for
soccer.
The next World Cup is likely to be in either South
Korea or South Africa. The benefit of the Canada
World Cup is that it is next door to the USA so travel
time will be a lot less than travelling to these two
countries. The cost of travelling will be a lot less also.
Don’t miss out… Limited spaces! We only have a limited number of spaces available
for this trip due to the room allocation at the hotel so
the first 300 people to register will secure the trip at
$1995.00 (based on 3 or 4 sharing a room). The next
300 spaces will be at a price of $2995.00 per person.
We recommend registering asap. Paying the deposit
is confirmation of your space(s).

Testimonials
“The trip AMsportstours put together for our U-13 soccer team was one full of memories to last a lifetime. Your careful
attention to every detail and organization skills to move our group from place to place, game to game, practice to
practice, etc were seamless.
I recommend your company to anyone planning a trip to experience soccer as a spectator, player or both. Each
and every player benefitted from seeing real EPL games, training with club coaches, playing against academies and
building experiences that they will never forget.
Please know how grateful we are to have had this experience with AMsportstours; you are the best there is in the
industry! We were thrilled with the experience.”
Cindy & Adam Muchnick, Parents of LA Galaxy and National Team Player, Jacob Muchnick
“In 20 years of professional football AMsportstours have provided my team with the best training camp I have
experienced. As Academy Director at a professional club I would trust them to deliver the highest level of customer
service and advice on how a training camp should be structured for maximum player development. Their contacts
and connections are at the highest level.”
James Clarkson, Academy Director, Houston Dynamo, MLS
“AMsportstours are fantastic. We get much false hope in Cambodia, but Austin and his team deliver with innovation
and determination. His Holiday’s for Hope project generates revenue which enables young Cambodian girls lives to
be changed through sport and education. They deliver on their promises.”
Sam Schweingruber, Cambodia Woman’s National Team Coach
“My career in football as a player, coach and FIFA Instructor for Women's Football has led
me to all corners of the globe and I have had dealings with numerous football organisations.
As Head Coach of the UAE Woman’s National Team we have just completed a one month
training camp in Germany organised by AMsportstours. AMsportstours have demonstrated
excellent customer service, professionalism and knowledge of football at the highest level.
They even introduced us to the President of UEFA. AMsportstours arranged an excellent
match schedule for our team based on our requirements. The staff took into consideration
the cultural differences and made the team and administration feel 100% confident that
they would deliver. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use their services again.”
Connie Selby, Head Coach, UAE National Team
