What a Football Training Camp Costs: The Lines in Your Quote and How to Compare Them

The cost of a football training camp comes down to a handful of lines in the quote: who travels, how they sleep, how many nights, the pitches, the friendlies and the flights. We do not publish a price, because the same ten days in Antalya can cost very different amounts depending on the dates, the hotel and the size of the group. If you have to take a budget to the board, or you have two quotes on the desk and cannot tell which is really cheaper, the lines below are where the money goes.

Who is in the squad: the number that drives everything

Almost every other line is multiplied by the headcount, so settle it first. A first team rarely travels as players alone. Coaches, the medical team, kit staff and directors come too, and as our pre-season planning timeline explains, a 25-player squad often turns into a group of more than 35.

The roles matter too. In the room plan we use, the head of delegation, head coach and club president have suites, officials and technical staff have single rooms, and players share or sleep alone. Two delegations of the same size can cost different amounts if one brings three directors and the other a single team manager.

Before you compare anything, ask two questions. Does the per-person price cover everyone on the list, or only the players? And are any places free of charge for staff?

Rooms, nights and dates

A player in a single room costs more than one sharing a double, so the share of singles moves the total. Decide early whether players share, and say so in your enquiry. Where the hotel has space we put all players on one floor, and the quote states for each hotel whether that is possible.

Count nights, not days. A ten-day camp that starts with an evening arrival and ends with a morning flight is nine nights at the hotel.

Dates move the hotel price too, because hotels price by their own calendar and occupancy. On the Antalya coast the busiest camp weeks run from early January to mid-February, and late February usually leaves more choice of hotels and pitches. Ask whether the price changes if your dates move by a week, and how long the hotel will hold the rate.

Hotel and meals

We offer 4- and 5-star hotels in the camp area. In the hotels we work with, full board is three halal buffet meals a day in a restaurant set aside for the team, with drinks and an afternoon snack included. Kit is washed twice a day, the gym, pool and sauna are free to use, and there is a prayer room and a meeting room with a TV. The full list is on our Accommodation page.

Another quote may price some of these separately, so ask line by line, and name laundry and late meals in particular. A dinner after an evening friendly falls outside the fixed meal times. Our article on choosing a hotel for a football team covers what to check beyond price.

Pitches and sessions

The usual plan is two sessions a day of about 90 minutes each, on a pitch close to the hotel. Equipment, water, ice and changing rooms are ready before you arrive, and the quote lists the distance from the hotel to each pitch.

Distance has a cost of its own. A pitch on the hotel grounds needs no coach between sessions, while a pitch 25 minutes away needs one four times a day. Ask whether the pitch times in the quote are fixed, whether an extra session for goalkeepers or a recovery group is charged, and whether floodlights cost extra if your coaches want a late session. More on how we set up the sessions is on the Training Camps page.

Friendlies, referees and security

A friendly is more than an opponent. Each match we arrange is played on a pitch with stands, with a federation-approved team of three referees, security and a changing room for each side. We find opponents to fit your dates and level.

Check whether each match is a separate line or part of a package, and how many matches the price includes. Ask what happens if an opponent pulls out: is the match replaced, or is that line refunded? We try for Süper Lig or 1. Lig opponents when their calendar allows, but we do not promise them in advance, so do not build the budget around one. Our Friendly Matches page and the article on what to agree before kick-off go further.

Flights, transfers and kit

Seda Turizm is an IATA-accredited agency, so our own team issues the squad's return flights. We meet you at the airport, a luxury coach set aside for the team runs between the hotel, pitch and stadium, and kit and luggage travel by trailer or a separate minibus. All of it sits in the same quote and on one invoice.

Flight prices can change until the tickets are issued. Ask how long the flight price in the quote is valid, when the airline needs the final names, and whether extra baggage for kit and medical cases is included. For transfers, check whether the coach is yours for the whole camp or charged trip by trip. Our Travel and Transfers page shows how the legs fit together.

Comparing two quotes like for like

Two quotes can only be compared if they describe the same camp. Before you look at the bottom line, make both show the same:

Then ask both suppliers for a written list of what is not included, and for the payment terms: the currency, whether taxes are included, the deposit and when it is due, and the cancellation stages. Make sure they are written into the contract. Note the date each quote expires as well, since a cheaper quote that lapses next week may not stay cheaper.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a training camp in Türkiye cost per person?

It depends on the dates, the hotel and the make-up of the squad, so we do not quote a figure without them. Our quotes set out hotel, pitch, match and travel options with a per-person cost.

Do staff and directors change the price?

Yes. Every person adds to the hotel, meals and flights, and the suites for the head of delegation and club president cost more than shared rooms for players.

Are friendlies included in the quote?

Our quotes include match options, with the pitch, referees and security. Ask any supplier how many matches its price covers.

Is the flight part of the quote?

It can be. We issue the squad's return flights ourselves and put them in the same quote as the hotel and transfers.

Is a winter or a summer camp cheaper?

That depends on the region and the exact weeks. Compare the same number of nights in each season rather than relying on a rule of thumb.

What do we need to send to get a quote?

Your dates, squad size and preferred region are enough to start. The full list is in the what to send us first section of our planning guide.

When your board asks for a number, send us the dates, the full travelling list with roles and the friendlies you want. We will price each line per person, so you can take it to the meeting and set it against any other offer on the table.
