Brazilian Travel Adventures 2008 All-Star Soccer Festival |
Soccer and Brazil, a match made in heaven! We are currently forming two men's and two
women's regional all-star teams to compete in the 2008 Brazilian All-Star Soccer Festival. This event is being organized by
Brazilian Travel Adventures with the cooperation of Santos F. C. and Sao Jose dos Campos E. C. and is open to N.C.A.A.
Division III men's and women's soccer players and their families.
Play and train with the best! This event is designed to be far more than just a soccer
tournament. Not only will you have the chance to compete against high-level Brazilian teams, like Santos F.C. and Sao Jose
dos Santos E.C., you will have the chance to train with top-level Brazilian coaches and club teams. The format of this
year's "festival" is the result of our years of experience hosting Division III all-star soccer teams and designed to provide
you with the best soccer experience possible.
And much more! Although soccer is the motivation for this event, you will have plenty of
time to enjoy yourself away from the pitch. In addition to five nights in the beautiful mountain resort town of Sao Bento de
Sapucai we will spend three nights on the breathtaking island of Ilha Grande. You will have a variety of non-soccer activities to
choose from in both locations and most importantly, you will have the opportunity to meet new friends- American and Brazilian alike.
Last but not least, you will have the chance to experience the wonders of Brazil, its culture, its food and its beautiful people.
Join us and participate in this event made especially for you!
