Rutgers women’s soccer spending spring break in Europe

For Rutgers women’s soccer, the upcoming spring break is a little different this year. The Scarlet Knights are in Europe until March 17, visiting England and Scotland. After sightseeing during the day, their nights will be filled with games against various professional organizations.

Their first stop will be in London, where Rutgers will see Premier League and Champions League matches at Arsenal and Chelsea. The landmarks they will visit include Abbey Road Crossing, the London Eye, and the Thames. Rutgers will also experience a training session with the coaching staff at Chelsea before heading to Manchester for a tour of Etihad Stadium.

Rutgers tour of Europe will then shift to Scotland, where they will see Edinburgh and Rangers F.C. Before returning to the United States, the Scarlet Knights will visit Glasgow for a Scottish Premier League game.

 

 

While it will be a busy nine days, it is a trip that head coach Mike O’Neil is not taking for granted.

“We are looking forward to immersion into the European culture, competing on the international stage, experiencing live matches, and adding depth to the relationships within our program,” O’Neill told Rutgers Athletics. “As a coaching staff, we are so fortunate to be surrounded by such incredible people and we are really excited to be a part of making memories in England and Scotland.”
