THE EXPERIENCE
"Football is Fun" is their Moto.  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. 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 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. 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).

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. 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.
