An unforgettable matchday
Our host met us before the game, took us to local bars, explained the chants and traditions, and made sure we felt part of it all. The atmosphere inside the stadium was unreal.

The atmosphere was insane
I've watched football all my life, but nothing compares to being there with real fans. The energy, the singing, the build up before the match — it's something you can't replicate on TV. Our host made sure we didn't miss any part of it. Genuinely one of the best experiences I've ever had.

Perfect for travellers who want unique
I'm not even a huge football fan, but this ended up being one of the best things I did on my trip. It's such an easy way to experience something local and different.

Felt like a local, not a tourist
This was the highlight of my trip. Instead of just showing up to a stadium, we spent the whole day with fans — eating, drinking, learning about the club's history.
