ADVENTURE & RESILIENCE: A WORLD-CLASS SOCCER AND CULTURAL TOUR OF ICELAND
A team trip to Iceland offers a rare opportunity to combine elite soccer development with one of the most unique and awe-inspiring landscapes on Earth. With My Future College Athletics (MFCA) and our experienced international partners, your team will step into a land of volcanic mountains, glaciers, and geysers—where the spirit of determination runs deep and the passion for soccer is rapidly growing. Iceland isn’t just a destination—it’s an unforgettable journey of growth, connection, and discovery.
Despite its small population, Iceland has emerged as a global football story of resilience and ambition. The national team shocked the world by qualifying for the 2016 UEFA European Championship and 2018 FIFA World Cup, becoming a symbol of unity and belief. Their iconic Viking Clap and fearless playing style captured international attention, and Iceland’s success has since inspired an entire generation of youth players around the world. It’s a country that proves great things can come from unlikely places.
Training in Iceland offers a unique blend of professional infrastructure, creative development, and personal attention. Your team will train at high-quality facilities under the guidance of top Icelandic coaches, many of whom are part of the country’s renowned UEFA-licensed system. Sessions are designed to emphasize teamwork, technical execution, and decision-making under pressure—principles that have driven Icelandic football’s rise on the global stage.
Icelandic clubs are well-structured, youth-focused, and fiercely community-driven. Teams like KR Reykjavik, FH Hafnarfjörður, and Breiðablik have made strides in European competition and continue to produce players who move on to top leagues around the world. Training with or competing against these sides offers your players a rare and valuable opportunity to test themselves in an international setting that emphasizes skill, endurance, and mental fortitude.
The capital city of Reykjavik serves as the perfect home base for your team’s journey. With its colorful buildings, cozy cafés, lively harbor, and strong sense of community, Reykjavik blends modern Nordic culture with a small-town charm that’s perfect for exploring. The city’s soccer culture is vibrant and growing, with numerous pitches, academies, and facilities scattered throughout. It’s also an ideal place for players and families to relax, learn, and connect with locals.
Beyond the field, Iceland offers some of the world’s most dramatic and unforgettable natural experiences. Visit the famous Blue Lagoon, hike behind powerful waterfalls, or explore black sand beaches and ancient lava fields. Tour the Golden Circle, where you’ll find erupting geysers, glacial rivers, and tectonic plate rifts. There’s no place else on earth like Iceland, and every moment spent outside of training enhances the journey’s richness and wonder.
Iceland’s wildlife, geothermal wonders, and clean, fresh air make every off-field activity feel like an adventure. Whether it’s spotting puffins along the cliffs, whale watching off the coast, or hiking through moss-covered volcanic craters, your group will be immersed in nature in a way few destinations can offer. These experiences build strong bonds between teammates and offer unforgettable moments for players, coaches, and families alike.
The country’s culinary scene is also full of surprises. From fresh-caught seafood and Icelandic lamb to skyr (a traditional yogurt) and sweet pastries, Iceland offers a mix of rustic, healthy, and surprisingly delicious food options. Dining in Reykjavik provides the chance to try both traditional fare and modern Nordic cuisine in welcoming restaurants and family-run cafés.
