Euro Football Exchange Inc.

What Euro Football Exchange Inc. does

Euro Football Exchange Inc. is a London-based private tour operator that organizes all-inclusive football tours for North American youth, amateur, and collegiate soccer teams to play against and train with European professional club academies. Founded and licensed in 2022, the company curates six destination products (Portugal, Spain, UK, Italy, Germany/Holland, and France) plus custom itineraries, with established partnerships at elite clubs including Benfica, Arsenal, AC Milan, Valencia, Real Madrid, PSG, and others. The founders are professional football people — current and former Premier League managers, captains, coaches, agents, and scouts — whose direct personal relationships with European clubs enable the company to access academy training facilities and opposing teams without paying agent commissions, a value proposition the company passes through to customers via a 100% price match guarantee.

The business model is a one-time per-group all-inclusive tour package, priced per person and quote-based, with payment split across four installments (10% deposit, 30% at 30 days, 30% at 60 days, 30% at 60 days before departure). Group capacity is approximately 49 persons including players, parents, and staff, and the company operates a hard cap of 12 tours per year to preserve service quality. Pricing follows a tiered structure with player rates at full price, parents at 50-65% of player rates, and progressive coach discounts (1 free place per 20 players/parents, 50% off for a second coach, 25% off for subsequent coaches). Flights are not included but can be arranged.

Go-to-market is exclusively direct sales, with no resellers or third-party distributors. The company runs a sales-led motion with offices in London (headquarters), Baltimore, and Toronto, and acquires the majority of its customers through word-of-mouth and personal recommendations rather than paid marketing. Zoom consultation calls with company directors are offered at the bottom of the funnel. The company is private, bootstrapped, and family-run, with no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no institutional investors. There is no public revenue, headcount, or valuation disclosed.
