Hi,

My 12 year old son is mad about football (or soccer as we call it). It would be fantastic for him to watch a match when we're on holiday in France or Italy later in the year.

Does anyone have advice about how to find matches and getting tickets (if needed). I think he'd be happy with any level - doesn't have to be professional although obviously that would add to the excitement.

thanks,
Soccer Mum

It is necessary to inform about the exact time and place where you'll spend your holidays.

Are the fixtures for Italy and France out yet? England's come out on Friday so maybe not.

Each major football club has its own website,some are even in English. There you find every information you need.

It really depends on where exactly you are and when. I have been to several games in Italy, and the only issue I have had is buying tickets.

After recent problems in Naples and Sicily there has been a reluctance to sell tickets "At the gate", but they are easy enough to buy away from the ground - you will need a passport so they can put your details on the tickets.

As everyone says, it all depends on where & when you will be in France & Italy. The seasons in both countries will start around the same time, and there are always pre-season warm-up matches as well, but knowing where you will be will help us all to suggest possible matches/clubs to check out.
