TESTIMONIES
"To say our family enjoyed our experience at The Donosti Cup would be an understatement. Everything was well organized. Our guide was personable and really got along with the boys. The competition was high quality. The accommodations in Donostia-San Sebastián were wonderful. It was also a plus that the boys got to sleep in separate accommodations from the parents. It gave our son and his teammates the chance to bond and be accountable for themselves and each other. Not to mention it gave the parents the freedom to explore on our own. Pintxos Crawl is a must! The opening ceremony really left an impression. While parents and fans waited in Real Sociedad Stadium, all the teams from different parts of the world together singing and laughing before walking out under their country and club flags to thunderous cheers - just think of the Olympics Opening Ceremony atmosphere. During the ceremony, our usually reserved son sent us an unexpected text proclaiming “I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE DOING THAT”. He finished with “THAT WAS ONE OF MY BEST EXPERIENCES.'"
"Traveling to the Donosti Cup in Spain with FC COPA was an incredible experience! The opportunity to train and compete in a vibrant soccer culture enhanced the boys' skills and fostered team camaraderie. The coaching staff and on-site tour manager were top-notch, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of Spain added an unforgettable touch. Highly recommend this experience for any young athlete!"
