Frequently Asked Questions
What happens between now and the event start date if the player gets an injury or gets sick?
We recommend travel insurance for a trip of this magnitude. That way if something were to happen prior to the event you could be refunded for the cost of the trip and flights.
When is the best time to start booking flights to Barcelona?
Once the player registration form is complete and the original deposit is paid, the players position on the program is confirmed. With this confirmation, you can begin to book travel for the trip.
Where do the games take place & are all the matches played in the same facility?
The scheduled games take place in Costa Brava at arenas including the Ciutat Esportiva de Blanes Facility. In previous editions, all scheduled matches were played in the same facility. As the event grows, all matches will be played in the same Costa Brava Region with a radius of approximately 15-25 minutes from each venue.
Does the team room together or do players stay individually with their families?
Players will room with their traveling family members/group.
Which hotel will I be staying in?
United Futsal negotiates with the best 4 star hotels in the area of Costa Brava, Spain. For each event, participants will receive confirmation of the hotel within 90 days prior to the event start date.
On the day of the departures, what time are the players finished with events and activities?
There are no scheduled events on April 20th. Players and supporters will be transported back to the airport depending on the bus schedule and flight departure times.
Is there transportation to and from the airport?
Yes! There will be a designated pick up point and schedule from the airport to the hotel throughout the day on April 11th. Be reminded that we ask for arrival between 9am and 2pm on April 11th in order to guarantee a transfer to the hotel. Anyone arriving early will need to find their way to the pickup point for a 10am scheduled bus departure. All flights arriving on April 11th, will be provided with a bus schedule with a specific time to meet in the airport. In addition, there are no scheduled events on April 20th. Players and supporters will need to checkout of the hotel and follow the bus schedule provided in order to be transported back to the airport. Check-out is usually 11am and this is when the final buses will depart from the hotel to Barcelona. ALL FUTURES participants must check out and leave the hotel with the final buses leaving at 11am.
What day/time would we need to arrive?
The morning of April 11th between 9am and 2pm.
Is it possible to stay at the same event hotel without purchasing the packages?
No. Unfortunately this is not possible as our partnering hotels work exclusively for the United Futsal event. In addition, without being a part of the supporter package, we are unable to offer any kind of airport transfers, private transportation, meals, hotel accommodation or access to any tours, live events or VIP experiences. It is required that each player has a parent/guardian to monitor them throughout the program. United Futsal staff are not responsible for any player or supporter outside of scheduled events and activities.
Are parents able to observe the players training sessions?
Parents are welcome to observe scheduled training sessions at their own discretion but an itinerary has been created for supporters designed to maximize your enjoyment without missing the important futsal related components.
Is there an easy way to visit the city of Barcelona on the days of the event?
Yes! Simply find your way to the nearest train station and within about an hour, you will be in the Barcelona city center.
