With my Partner Mariana and our guides Sebastian, David and Andrés, we can give you a unique experience, where you will not only learn about football (soccer), its history, and the social implications of the sport and our players but also have a really fun time, full of emotions and an incredible atmosphere inside the stadium!

After 10 years of experience in this Tour, I think I’m the ideal person to take you to the Stadium! I was a founder of the Ultras of my team and I am a real football fan, I know teams from all over the world and with my partner, we have a collection of more than 60 jerseys from all over the world.

We will go to the Atanasio Girardot Stadium to see a game of one of the two big teams of the city: Independiente Medellín or Atletico Nacional. Before getting inside the stadium we will take you to a place where you can buy drinks, food, and the jersey of the team. We will also explain to you about the history and relation that the society of Medellin has with football life!

    This is a proper football experience!!! Picked up from a local hotel/hostel then taken to a place were locals meets for beers and food, also the chance to buy tops and other merch from the street sellers. 10 minute walk to the ground. We were there in plenty of time to take in the atmosphere. Seats were perfect, right next to the Ultras/Singing Section. After the match back to where we were dropped off and another beer. Then back into the mini bus and back to hotel. Everything ran like clockwork!!! Cant recommend this enough if you are a football fan and want to see a match in Medellin.

    Thank you very much for an amazing experience Andrés. You were a fantastic host from start to finish. I was picked up along with fellow fans and enjoyed a few beers. The atmosphere in the stadium was brilliant and I loved every moment. Good luck in the future mate.

    Amazing experience and very lucky to hear about this tour so short before the big game AN-DIM. The pregame meeting with face painting and chanting the club songs was extremely fun and the atmosphere during the game was incredible.

    I attended a Independiente Medellin game and it was awesome ! Before and after the game you hang around with locals and the guides at a little shop where you can get facepaintings and buy beers. They also give free Aguardientes shots to you. The guides are super friendly and can answer all your questions. The atmosphere at the game is just awesome, it is even a nice experience if you are not the biggest football fan. You get really experience the real Colombia !
