Transport to Beijing, Europe or Chengdu

High-speed bullet train og plan - transport to Beijing, or for further floorball adventures in Chengdu.

Shanghai is the floorball capital of China!

They have the best teams of China, in addition to several youth teams. So we can find relevant chinese opposisition for all "Chinese" levels. In addition we'll set up a few matches between the teams from the west.

Some Asian participants have limited floorball experience, so we also encourage participating "family members" of players to join some matches. If there is interest among parents, we will set up a few "accompanying parents" matches, so everyone can experience playing in Inner Mongolia. This also applies to accompanying minors!

Included/Excluded

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:

Included

Help with the visa process. We'll guide you step-by-step through the process and provide you with a personal invitation from the federation - making the visa process much easier and travel arrangements more flexible
Airline tickets to and from Europe, including luggage, and joint transportation of sticks. We'll make sure no-one needs to fly to China outside a group
Lodging in hotels with 3, 4 or 5 stars. Hotel standard is good, but some things will be different to what you are used to.
Local bilingual guides will help us when on the ground in China and join us to the sport events. Help in setting up e-sim-services so that you can contact the rest of the world while in China
Transport from the airport, all transport to sport venues, and bullet-train to Beijing
Breakfast, lunch and dinner. For most meals we'll provide both local cuisine (even rabbit heads in spicy sauce!!) and European style food (bread, cereals, hamburgers, etc.)
Participation in the cups, as well as entrance tickets for accompanying family
Personalized competition jerseys (home and away) with name and number, two shorts, and two pairs of socks
Tour clothing for competitors and accompanying family members: (pique jersey), gifts from sponsors and a pennant
All matches are broadcasted.
Guided local tours that few foreigners would have access to
'Fair play prize' from the local organizer and 'Best goal scored' prize from Unihoc

Not Included

Additional Days and some of the Guided Excursion Services. We set up local excursions, many of which would not be easily available for foreigners, that you pick from
Visa Application Fee and your personal insurance. Make sure your travel insurance doesn't have exceptions for sport events - a few do
Drinks and food if you choose to dine outside the group. Last year some preferred to follow the group through the entire journey, while some did a lot of private activities the last days of the trip.
Transport to/from the Arlanda/Gardermoen airport

Ground Rules. Important!

We are ambassadors during the tournament, and it is expected that we conduct ourselves in an exemplary manner.
There is zero tolerance for alcohol, tobacco, and disrespectful behavior. In the rare case of breaches, it might lead to a yellow card (warning), red card (one or more matches quarantine) or exclusion from the group.

The Main Goal is Cultural Exchange

Team Mars and Norway

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!
