Soccer

Plan for games and training to be on either turf or grass. Many clubs and professional facilities now feature both grass and turf surfaces and they will assign a field depending upon availability and weather. If a player brings only screw-in studs to play and train in, it could certainly be a problem. Molded cleats and training shoes will be ideal to bring for all training and games.

General

Taking and using credit cards and debit cards is very common while traveling. To avoid problems, the card should have the purchaser’s name on the card. Ask your personal bank for their recommendation. Answer 2: Yes, ATM’s are readily available all over the world. You can take money out of an ATM with your bank card from home, a small fee may apply.

The best practice for protecting money and for general safety is to be “practical but not paranoid”. ALL travelers should avoid carrying or showing large sums of money during sightseeing activities. Our Generation adidas International staff will not be able to hold money for you. Always keep money/wallets out of plain sight and hold in front pockets or carried with bag/purse in front and not over shoulder on your side or back. Do not leave money (wallets, cellphones, cameras or computers) on tables or counters unattended. It is advised to use reasonable caution, but do not let the worry ruin your trip.

Go to your local electronics department store (i.e. Best Buy, Target etc.) to purchase the required plug adaptor for the country you are visiting.

It is advisable to make a copy of your passport to carry with you during travel. This of course could be useful/helpful in the unlikely event that a passport has been lost or misplaced. We strongly encourage all travelers to keep a close eye on their passport at all times especially when they are pulling it out and putting it away several times for security checks during airport procedures. We also encourage you to make a copy of the pre-trip travel reference document we will provide that includes important contacts information (phone numbers for our offices, hotels, supervisor). Take one copy with you and leave the other copy with family members back home. Also make a copy of the e-ticket that we provide, or your own agency provides, for reference of booking number and other details related to your departure and return flights.
