The Boulder County Force Soccer Club has a strong tradition of international soccer tours. Playing soccer at Olympic-style international soccer festivals in Europe or South America is a highlight of the BC Force soccer experience. In alignment with our mission, the Force provides a global experience for our youth players with participation in international tournaments and exhibition games. Since 1981 BCF teams have played in Italy, Holland, Mexico, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Chile and the Czech Republic. Force players who tour internationally with their team always return to Colorado with a better appreciation for the "global community" of the world’s most popular game.

In 2008, the Boulder County Force Soccer Club has various high school age teams traveling to Sweden, Czech Republic and Costa Rica.
