Local Partnership

In partnership with a former Marseille & Premier League defender

Ronald Zubar first represented France at youth international level, then built a senior career across Europe and the U.S. — 98 appearances for Olympique de Marseille, four seasons in the English Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and a spell in MLS with the New York Red Bulls. This tour is run in partnership with Ronald and ZE Academy.

That career opens doors most tours cannot. His old club. His old stadium. A network of European academies lining up to play your teams. Our players won't just see France and its futbol culture, we will live it.

"Football in Europe is a different language. The best way to learn it is to go and play it."
