Training that makes a difference
Rovinj has already proven itself to be a safe destination as a winter camp for football players thanks to its high-quality sports facilities and top-quality accommodation and gourmet offer. During the winter, from January to April, a number of football teams from Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Germany and Switzerland regularly come here for training camps, and during the pre and post tourist season we have even hosted international tournaments that are listed on the FIFA calendar. The Croatian Football Association (HNS) has been organising camps for all ages in Rovinj for many years, as well as qualifying matches for U15, U16, U19 and U21 age groups, and for women’s teams too.
