We had a great trip. The organization and the logistics are amazing. Coaches are great, this is our 4th trip to Gothia and I can’t express enough accolades. This is a trip you should definitely take. Both Copenhagen and Gothenburg are great cities that are manageable with a ton to see.

This trip was incredible. The logistics were flawless and there was enough downtime to explore Copenhagen and Gothenburg. My daughter made friendships that will extend way past the trip. FCNE did a fantastic job coordinating, especially since there were some flight cancelations on the day of departure. Don't question it and book the trip for an amazing experience!

My son had an absolute blast! 💥 It was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The coaches went above and beyond—they were knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about what they do. The staff made everything so easy, with excellent communication every step of the way. My son is already asking to come back next year, and this time, he wants to bring his brother too! Thank you for creating such an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to be back!

Our family cannot say enough great things about our FCNE Denmark and Sweden experience. From the very first phone call to the final day of the trip, everything exceeded our expectations. First, we have to thank Jon. He was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. No matter how many questions we had leading up to the trip or while we were overseas, Jon was always available, quick to respond, and genuinely cared about making sure every family had an amazing experience. That level of communication and support gave us so much confidence from start to finish. Our coach, Scott Waddell, was simply outstanding. He took the time to truly get to know each player, constantly encouraged them, challenged them in positive ways, and created an environment where every girl felt valued. What stood out most was that his role didn't stop when the matches ended. Whether it was riding roller coasters with the girls at Liseberg or spending time with them away from the field, he invested in creating memories that will last a lifetime. Coaches like Scott are one of a kind. Starting the trip in Denmark before heading to the Gothia Cup was the perfect way to begin the experience. Playing friendly matches against Danish clubs helped the girls come together as a team, but what made it even more special was sharing a barbecue meal with the opposing teams afterward. Watching players from different countries sit together, laugh, and build friendships showed what this trip was really about. It was an experience our daughter will never forget. The Gothia Cup itself was everything we hoped it would be and more. Watching our daughter walk into Ullevi Stadium during the Opening Ceremonies in front of more than 50,000 people while representing the United States was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Competing against teams from multiple countries, experiencing different styles of play, and making friendships with players from around the world was simply incredible. One of the things that impressed us most was how well everything was organized. International travel can be overwhelming, but FCNE had every detail planned. Transportation, hotels, schedules, communication, and logistics all ran smoothly, allowing families to simply enjoy the experience. Even with a full soccer schedule, there was plenty of family time to explore Denmark and Sweden together, experience the culture, and create memories outside of soccer. The friendships that developed throughout the trip were something truly special. The girls became incredibly close in a very short amount of time, but so did the parents. Whether we were cheering from the sidelines, exploring the cities together, or sharing meals, it felt like one big family. Those relationships are something we will continue to cherish long after the trip is over. Most importantly, we watched our daughter grow. She came home more confident, more vocal, more composed under pressure, and with an even greater love for the game. Those lessons are worth far more than wins and losses. This trip was about so much more than soccer. It was about culture, friendships, personal growth, unforgettable experiences, and memories that will last forever. When it was time to leave, none of us were ready for it to end. Thank you to Jon, Coach Scott Waddell, the FCNE staff, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this experience possible. You created something our family will always be grateful for, and without hesitation, we would do it all over again.

It's clear that a lot of work went into the tour and the result was a very special experience for the girls. It was really impressive how the coaches knit the team together into a competitive unit in so little time. As a traveling supporter, I also loved it. I'd recommend without reservations.
