Global Sports Experiences (GSE), a global leader in international soccer travel, elite tournaments, and cultural sports immersion programs, is proud to announce a new Alliance Partnership with Match Fit Surf Soccer Club.
Beginning in 2026, the partnership will provide Match Fit Surf players, coaches, and families with access to world-class international soccer experiences that combine elite competition, cultural immersion, and long-term player development opportunities across Europe and South America.

Additional international opportunities, including participation in Surf Cup International Salou 2027, are also planned as part of the long-term collaboration.

Elite International Competition
Players will have the opportunity to train and compete in some of the world’s most recognized football environments while experiencing different playing styles, coaching methodologies, and competitive cultures.
The Boys England Experience will include professional academy training sessions, live professional matches, behind-the-scenes stadium tours, and immersive exposure to the culture and history of English football.
In 2027, Match Fit Surf Girls players and families will have the opportunity to travel to Brazil for a Women’s World Cup experience, centered around one of the biggest global events in the sport, providing exposure to the atmosphere, passion, and culture that define world football.
Immersive Cultural Experiences
Beyond the field, players and families will experience the cultures that shape the global game through curated travel experiences, historic city visits, iconic football venues, and shared international experiences that extend far beyond competition itself.
These experiences are designed to broaden perspectives, strengthen team identity, build independence, and create lasting memories both on and off the field.

This partnership also introduces dedicated fan-experience travel opportunities for Match Fit Surf families, including:
- Curated travel itineraries featuring sightseeing, cultural tours, and local experiences
- Opportunities to attend professional matches and major football events
- Premium travel coordination and logistical support through GSE’s international travel team
