Germany 2025

We can reveal the destination for our first group trip of 2025: Germany and FC Köln!

The Billy Goats play in front of sell-out crowds week in, week out at the 50,000 capacity Rhein-Energie-Stadion. Tickets sell out fast to club members - but thanks to our friends at Cologne Tourism, and FC Köln, we have secured an exclusive package for our readers!

We'll see three matches based in the stunning city of Cologne and stay in a 4* hotel in its famous old town: within a mile of the world-famous Dom, Cologne's gothic cathedral.

And not only will we see a game and sample the incredible atmosphere at FC Köln, we'll enjoy a private, guided stadium tour - and a couple of other perks too.

The Football Weekend trip is lined up from Friday, January 24 to Monday, January 27, 2025: flights to Cologne/Bonn and Dusseldorf are available.
