Benfica Matchday Experience with Locals
I cannot overstate how incredible this experience was. What was sold as a "matchday ticket and local host" turned into one of the most authentic, warm, and unforgettable days of my travels. From the very first message, Goncalo was exceptional. He wasn't just organising a trip to the game, he was welcoming me into his world. His communication was perfect, and he tailored the day to ensure I got the full, genuine local experience, not just the tourist version. On the day itself, Goncalo went above and beyond. He met me early, explained the history of the club and its rivalry, and you could feel his genuine passion. He navigated everything seamlessly, from the best pre-match atmosphere to the perfect seats where we could feel the energy of the crowd. But here’s where it became truly special, he included me in his own personal matchday tradition. This is where I need to give a massive, special shout-out to his father and his best friend. They weren't just along for the ride, they were integral to the experience. His father shared incredible stories and insights that you'd never read in a guidebook, offering a perspective filled with decades of loyalty. His best friend had an infectious energy that made the whole day feel like I was with old friends, laughing and cheering together. Their welcome was so sincere, it felt like being adopted into their matchday family for the day. The match itself was brilliant, but honestly, the people made it legendary. Chanting with them, feeling the highs and lows, and then celebrating (or commiserating!) together after the final whistle was pure magic. I am truly, deeply grateful to Goncalo for his outstanding hosting, and to his father and best friend for their incredible warmth and hospitality. This wasn't a tour, it was a privilege. If you want to feel the soul of a football club and create memories that last a lifetime, book this experience without hesitation. You won't regret it! Thank you, Homefans, for facilitating, and thank you Goncalo and family for an absolutely perfect day. I'll be back!!

Dérbi de Lisboa: Sporting CP v SL Benfica
I'm going to try keep this concise. Lisbon is a BEAUTIFUL city with a lovely charm and a relaxed vibe which was great to be part of. My local host/guide, Ricardo, was a brilliant host and person who guided us to multiple lovely places for my group to see and enjoy. My hotel (Lisbon City Hotel) was at a great location at Intendente which gets lively at night with an outdoor DJ/performer where drinks are flowing and it has many restaurants and shops nearby. Whilst the action on the pitch was disappointing in the Lisbon derby, I loved the atmosphere and being at a wonderful stadium of Sporting's, along with Benfica's for the stadium tour. I look forward to my next trip with Homefans.

🔥 Boca Juniors vs River Plate | Premium Superclásico at La Bombonera
An unforgettable experience at La Bombonera – a dream come true! What an incredible experience! We absolutely loved exploring the Boca neighbourhood, but attending a Boca Juniors match at the legendary La Bombonera was the absolute highlight of our time in Buenos Aires! As a huge football fan, I’d always dreamed of experiencing the famous atmosphere at La Bombonera and seeing how it compares to what I’ve experienced in the Bundesliga, La Liga and Premier League. And it certainly did not disappoint! The passion, energy and atmosphere were simply unbelievable. Everything was brilliantly organised from start to finish by Milton, and a special shoutout to Camillo, who was a fantastic host for game with Union Santa Fe and made the whole experience very smooth! Highly recommended – an absolute must for any football lover visiting Buenos Aires!

Maracanã Matchday Experience with Local Flamengo Fans
We really enjoyed our experience at the football. Andressa was an excellent host. The other guests too were lovely with a shared football passion. Felt very safe from start to finish. I have already recommended the tour to a Brazilian lady who said she was too scared to go on her own but always wanted to go. Thank you Andressa. If you get to the uk, I will try and get some tickets for a Leeds game.
