Some of our boys and girls will have the incredible opportunity to play warm-up matches against national teams participating in the World Games. Just remember—do NOT injure them! :-)
Chengdu is home to a lot of local teams, which means we can set up relevant matches for accompanying little brothers and sisters. Everyone gets a chance to play and enjoy the sport!
The World Games is an amazing event, and the Chinese truly know how to create an outstanding atmosphere around giant sporting events. From the energy of the crowd to the grandeur of the ceremonies, it’s an experience you won’t forget.
Get ready for an adventure in Chengdu filled with floorball, cultural exchange, and the excitement of being part of a world-class sporting event!
Please be advised that the time schedule and content for sure will be adjusted! ✨
When we're creating floorball magic on the other side of the world 🌍, a lot of things will change before and during the journey! 🚀🏑
Departure from Shanghai/Beijing or Oslo/Stockholm/another European city. Transport to hotel and dinner. It's possible to arrive a day or two earlier to have more time in Chengdu before the training matches.
What teams we will meet will depend on our group. We will find opponents for litterally all levels - from the best national teams in the world to local U12 teams. We'll to 1-2 matches per day, so that all days can be combined with sightseeing if you want.
We believe it will be spectacular. We have been promised 'something', but it is yet unclear what events we will be able to attend, but we will do our best to get tickets for the opening ceremony and/or the opening games.
Chengdu during the World Games is a unique experience. We will have local guides unlocking hidden gems of the city. Some of the activities might come with an extra cost.
World Games is an opportunity to see another epic Sweden-Finland-battle, but also experience other sports competing to get into the Olympics. Some of the activities might come with an extra cost.
Return to Europe on the day of your choice, based on how many days you want in Chengdu and/or Beijing/Shanghai. Extra days on own expense, but we can arrange for group tours with local guides and cheaper hotel deals
Which teams we will be playing against is dependent on the level of the players who sign up, but we know that several national teams are already interested in relevant warm-up matches against us. We will adjust the teams to match the opposition, ensuring no one felt left out at any time!
In addition to the national teams, we will also play against local teams. Chengdu has a lot of local teams, so we can set up relevant matches for accompanying little brothers and sisters. Everyone gets a chance to play and enjoy the sport!
We'll be staying in a "olympic village" style hotel, where all teams will be staying. We have been told it is very clean and nice. The standard is high, but it is a hotel oriented around sports, not so much luxury. The hotel is located in the middle of Chengdu, so we can easily get to the city center and all the attractions.
Please be advised that when we are creating floorball magic on the other side of the world and in countries with variable prior international floorball experience, changes and unexpected situations are inevitable. 🌍✨ If you expect everything to go smoothly, this tour is not for you. We have learned a lot during the estimated 1,680,000 km travelled and 1,200 nights in hotel for our group and feel that we are well equipped to handle cultural differences and meet the expectations of European floorball enthusiasts, but know that surprises, misunderstandings and last minute adjustments will come! 🌟 Here is a list of what you can and cannot expect:
Please note that we are invited guests! We are invited to this hidden gem because the teams over the past two years have behaved well and been fantastic ambassadors for Europe and the sport.
Please note that the use of alcohol, disrespect of organizers, other participants, or the local culture will not be accepted.
If some Europeans would like to participate in coaching less experienced Asian players, that would be cool, but it is not a requirement!
Join us on our upcoming tours where you'll experience amazing destinations and unforgettable adventures. Each tour is carefully curated to provide the best experience for participants.
We are planning an online info meeting soon. Send us an email at [email protected] with your questions, or to be invited.
