Bernabéu & Camp Nou
Two of the world's most iconic stadiums — both expected to host knockout rounds. Attending a World Cup match at the Bernabéu is a bucket list moment.
Easy access from the UK
Under 3 hours by air from London to Madrid or Barcelona. The most accessible World Cup for UK-based fans since 1966.
June–July climate
Hot and dry across most of Spain in summer. Evening kickoffs make stadium conditions excellent. Seville can be extreme — plan accommodation with air conditioning.
Food and culture
Paella, tapas, pintxos in Bilbao, jamón ibérico. Each Spanish host city has its own culinary and cultural identity.
Schengen visa
A single Schengen visa covers Spain and Portugal. Most African passport holders need to apply — our visa guide covers the full process.
Spanish African diaspora
Significant African communities in Madrid and Barcelona. Attending with Nigerian or Ghanaian fan groups in these cities will be an experience unlike any previous World Cup in Europe.
