Vancouver Base + San Fran Tour

Based in beautiful Vancouver for the first 10 nights of the tour, you will stay in a 6-bedroom apartment which include a living area, kitchen, six single bedrooms & a communal bathroom. Apartments have basic cable & are all located in the same building so we will have a Fanatics host there who will organise the social side to bring all tourists together. We will head to locals bars to watch games & provide optional group sightseeing day tours closer to the event.


This is not a tour for couples as there will be male apartments & female apartments. Unless of course you book the whole apartment for 6 places & then you can have whoever you like in there. Maximum 6 travellers per apartment. If you book less than 6 people in an apartment we will match you up with other like-minded travellers.

Host Cities

Vancouver is a beautiful, bustling west coast port city featuring an ethnically diverse population. The city is surrounded by stunning mountains, and has thriving art, theatre and music scenes.

This is a football town and Vancouver staged nine matches during the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup including the final where USA defeated Japan to win their third title. The city is home to MLS team Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

San Francisco is the commercial, financial, and cultural centre of Northern California. The San Francisco Bay Area is home to 9 million residents. Local highlights include iconic landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, historic Alcatraz Island, and the bustling Fisherman's Wharf, plus classic cable cars, the unique twists of Lombard Street, and diverse neighbourhoods including its world famous Chinatown.

Match Tickets

As with past tournaments, match tickets need to be applied for directly with FIFA, be sure to register your details with FIFA to receive information as it is announced.

In the lead up to the tournament additional tickets will be on sale on a first-come-first-served basis and, as in 2022, FIFA will also operate a resale platform for match tickets.

Thanks to the large host stadiums for the tournament tickets for most group-stage matches shouldn’t be a problem so we can look ahead to supporting the Socceroos in the USA, Mexico & Canada with confidence!

For those who have travelled to previous World Cups with Fanatics, you will already understand the ticketing purchase process and be comfortable in the understanding that the vast majority of football fans heading will be purchasing their tickets via the January sales phase after the match schedule is released.

In the unlikely event that you were unsuccessful in securing tickets we will put you in touch with other Fanatics who ended up purchasing more tickets than they actually need. Names can easily be changed on match tickets to allow another person to become the holder of their ticket/s.

Tour Payments

A deposit of $3,000 per person is required at the time of booking. The final balance will be due by 27 March 2026.
