Trip Spotlight: London Fan Experience – December 2025
This holiday season, celebrate the magic of the Premier League and the charm of London with CRYSC International! Since 2022, CRYSC International has facilitated soccer-specific experiences in England, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Costa Rica, and beyond for over 700 CRYSC players, families, and staff. And this year, we’re introducing something new!
From December 26–31, 2025, join fellow Rapids families for an unforgettable 6-day “Fan Experience” trip that blends world-class football with historic London sightseeing. This tour is open to all 10U-19U CRYSC players (2016–2007 birth years), regardless of playing level, along with their families. This includes our National Platform, Competitive, Rising Rapids, and Recreational members!
Enjoy free time to explore London with your family – from iconic landmarks and holiday markets to cozy pubs and museums – while also gaining exclusive ticket access to three professional matches (two Premier League and one Championship).
The WorldStrides Sports (CRYSC travel partner) operations team has secured space for the group at the matches listed below. Tickets are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. All games are subject to change:
- December 27 – Brentford vs. Bournemouth (EPL)
- December 29 – Millwall vs. Bristol City (Championship)
- December 30 – Crystal Palace vs. Fulham (EPL)
Alongside match access, the trip includes:
- A 24/7 WorldStrides Tour Director to guide and support your group throughout the trip
- Private transportation to scheduled events and match days
- A London walking tour highlighting the city’s rich history and culture
- Flexible flight options to best fit your family’s holiday travel plans (most travelers will choose “Land Only”)
