THE EXPERIENCE
This is a top quality Soccer Festival for Boys and Girls held in the picturesque Seaton Park, situated within easy walking distance to the centre of Aberdeen, Scotland, known as The Floral City. This is a true Festival, organized to enable young people from all parts of the world to meet not only on the field of play but during the many social, cultural and fun events which are held during the week of the Festival.

When the event started in 1981 the idea was not simply to provide a soccer tournament but to create a Festival which would include a tournament and at the same time many other soccer activities and social events. The objective was that young people from all over the world should be able to come together in friendship to compete with each other. The format has been an outstanding success with teams from 42 countries representing 5 continents taking part.

SOCCER TOURNAMENT
All matches are played on first class grass pitches in the picturesque Seaton Park, a few minutes walking distance from the accommodation. Teams have a minimum of four games.

OTHER SOCCER ACTIVITIES
The soccer related activities include a 5-a-side tournament, soccer tennis, a penalty kick competition, an 'It's a Knock-Out' and a visit to the stadium of Aberdeen Football Club.

OTHER ATTRACTIONS
On the social front there are many options, such as a welcome reception, an awards presentation ceremony, ten pin bowling, a disco, an evening of traditional Scottish entertainment for the adults, and also sightseeing tours.

MATCH OFFICIALS
Fully qualified referees and assistant referees officiate at all the games (4 officials per game). The standard of refereeing is high with many officials from the most senior grades in Scotland and other countries.

FULLY APPROVED
The Festival is approved by the Scottish Football Association and by FIFA. It is also a founder member of BISTA (the British Isles Soccer Tournaments Association).

The Aberdeen International Football Festival is proud of its motto "Football is Fun" and we do all in our power to make this a week of football and fun for all our guests, so that they may leave Aberdeen with the very best of memories and we hope many new found friends from all continents.
