2 AM Sports Tours – Euro 2020
Heads for travel, hearts for soccer Right from the kick off, it’s been about the soccer. It’s in our blood. We’re a passionate team of top- level soccer coaches and players dedicated to sharing our love of the beautiful game with players of every age, from every corner of the earth. We work at the very highest level, coaching national teams on the international stage, as well as running our own thriving grassroots club. So, when it comes to our tours, we take a completely tailored approach, creating incredible itineraries based on your specific goals. We take teams on unforgettable journeys, travelling to amazing cities and iconic stadiums, meeting heroes and making friends. Unrivalled on-the-ground knowledge means we can partner you with professional and national clubs for demanding training sessions, challenging games and inspiring behind-the-scenes tours. We’re soccer people doing tours, not tour people doing soccer. We know the game and we know what it’s like to be a player, a fan, a coach and a manager. That’s why over 2,000 soccer-loving clients from over 36 countries choose AM Sports Tours again and again. 3 AM Sports Tours – Euro 2020

EXPERIENCE SCOTLAND
Edinburgh
Scottish people called it Auld Reekie,many
others call it one of the best cities in Europe!
Edinburgh is not only one of the most beautiful cities
in Europe, it is a city with a fantastic position. The view
falls on all sides – green hills, the hint of the blue sea,
the silhouettes of the buildings and the red cliffs.
It is a city that calls you to explore it by foot – narrow
streets, passageways, stairs and hidden church yards
on every step will pull you away from the main streets.
Edinburgh is a city that begs to be discovered,
filled with quirky, come-hither nooks that tempt
you to explore just that little bit further.

Families
AM Sports Tours are committed to making every trip
a once in a lifetime experience not only for the players
but for the families as well.
We understand that families sometimes need time on their own to
relax or to visit some of the attractions at their own pace as a familiy
so we create a schedule that allows you to take time out and enjoy
Scotland together. There are also times that parents prefer time
alone to experience the cities and can do so in the knowledge that
the players are enjoying their time in a comfortable environment.
Scotland is truly a gem of a country and we will
ensure you get time to see the best of it.
Whether that’s experiencing the stunning city of Edinburgh of
the historic wonders of St Andrews, our schedule will perfectly
balance the soccer, sightseeing and family time to ensure
everyone can create memories that will last a lifetime
