The World Cup was last in Brazil 62 years ago, meaning for most of us, the opportunity to experience the World Cup in Brazil is genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime event. Recently, to properly plan our World Cup Academy Tour, I visited Brazil for the third time in my life and was again in love with the country, the people, the weather, the soccer, the food and the way of life. Furthermore I discovered a small Brazilian paradise, which is the perfect place for the World Cup Academy – Buzios - 2 hours from Rio de Janeiro. This trip will be unforgettable for anyone who can make it, whether a young player, parent, friend, fan, family or coach.

Experience at Major Championships… AMsportstours ran the World Cup Academy in Cape Town, South Africa in 2010 and also a tour to the 2012 European Championships in Poland and Ukraine. We have experience in delivering sports travel worldwide, in different cultures and environments, with groups of all sizes, ages and abilities.

Buzios – The Brazilian Paradise… Buzios is a Brazilian coastal paradise, which kids, parents and coaches will all love and not want to leave. Famed for being Bridget Bardot’s favorite place in the world, Buzios has beautiful beaches, bargain and boutique shopping, and hundreds of little bars, restaurants, clubs and cafés which stay open into the early hours of the morning. The accommodation is first class, all en-suite, with airconditioning and a pool on site. The ambience of Buzios is appealing, it being very safe, cosmopolitan, family friendly but still very Brazilian with a permanent holiday feel.

The World Cup Academy… Having met with the Minister for Sport, the AMsportstours World Cup Academy will take place at Buzios Esporte Clube, where teams from around the world will train together and enjoy international competition in a program co-ordinated by Joaozinho Fernandes (former Brazilian professional player and Head Coach at Buzios Esporte Clube) and Professional International Coaches. Local Brazilian players will be part of the World Cup Academy and train with and compete against visiting teams. The World Cup Academy will come together in Buzios for boys and girls of all abilities and age-ranges. Adult teams can also join the program. Below AMsportstours Managing Director Austin MacPhee visits Buzios Esporte Clube to make arrangements with the Minister of Sport for the World Cup Academy.

Peace for Parents and fans… Parents and fans have the freedom to come and go as they please with the Academy staff responsible for the players throughout their time at the Academy. Buzios offers so much choice for parents and family members. Enjoy a Caiparihnia on the beach 500 metres away, wander round the Brazilian boutiques, hire a boat, sign up for surf school or visit one of the many bars to watch the latest World Cup games - you will love Buzios. Buzios activities and watersports… Buzios offers sailing, snorkeling, surfing, boat trips, fishing, jet skis, golf, paragliding and much, much more. This can be arranged by AMsportstours for those interested. Buzios Accommodation The chosen accommodation is in beautiful Brazilian Pousada's. All the room are en-suite, with airconditioning, laundered daily and have wifi. Pousada's are independent and family run, giving you a flavour of the real Brazil. We have carefully selected these Pousada's which are family friendly and all have a pool and an ideal location near the beach and World Cup Academy training centre.

Day trips to Rio de Janeiro and the Copacabana… There will be three day trips to Rio during the World Cup Academy and these will include time on the famous Copacabana Beach, the opportunity to take the cable car up Sugar Loaf Mountain, a visit to the statue of Christ the Redeemer and time in the Rio old town of Santa Terresa and Lapa. All activities are optional.

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 “I've been very privileged to have been involved in many sporting events and occasions and for me the Tour to Barcelona was one of the most professionally organised I've been lucky enough to be a part of. This was not only during the 5 days but also in the lead up to which to my mind always sets the scene in terms of what will follow. The preparation beforehand sets the standard as well as the expectation and you all more than lived up to what we have all become used to seeing at AMsports. It was fantastic to see the boys have such a great time and be lucky enough to experience such an opportunity. This will be one of those moments in time for me and I hope for them.”

Jackie Davidson, CEO, Scotland Commonwealth Games Bid & CEO Scottish Cycling “Ted and I wanted to send our comments regarding the European Tour. We thought it was a great experience for the boys and for us and would definitely recommend any future tours and doing business with AMsportstours. Everything went smoothly, was well planned and coordinated and Austin was very knowledgeable and provided activities that kept everyone busy and entertained. We enjoyed every activity, including watching our boys' games, having great seats at the professional games, the city tours and the night time socializing with the other wonderful parents who participated and with Austin, Gary and the participating coaches. Before the trip, I started to get very nervous, not knowing what we were getting into, what kind of flights, accommodations, the safety, etc., but now that we have had this experience, the word of mouth would put others at ease. I strongly recommend continuing to do business with Austin & AMsportstours. We were in great hands and I don't think anyone could do a better job.” Liz Orihel, Houston Texans Parent “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 “This was the greatest experience that my family and I ever had. The whole trip was perfectly managed by Steve and Robbie from AMsports. Thank you for making this trip a great experience!” Alex Ramirez, LAPFC Boys Spain Tour 2012
