WHAT FOOTBALL ESCAPES SAID
Those taking in the Rooney experience are paying between £7,500 and £8,650 for the privilege – with that price covering a five-day stay in five-star surroundings. The brand responsible for that excursion has said: “Wayne Rooney’s first Football Escapes course is in full flow, and it’s been nothing short of amazing. Expert coaching, plenty of laughs, and memories being made on and off the pitch.
“The kids are putting in the hard work, but let’s not forget the parents… they’re already eyeing up their big moment—the legendary Parents’ Game. Some are stretching, some are strategising… others are just hoping to make it through in one piece! We’re not even halfway through, and it’s been unforgettable already. More fun, football, and family time to come!”
