WSC are collaborating with Aficionados to offer immersive trips to some of the world’s great football cities, taking in matches, history and culture, with big savings for our subscribers and Supporters Club members.
What makes Aficionados different?
Aficionados provide group travel opportunities for football fans who are seeking far more than a ticket to a match away from home.
Discover
Aficionados do not just watch football, we discover football in the destinations we visit. We unearth the heritage of key clubs through visits to football museums and by having a football expert on tour to provide maximum insight. We will also ensure we visit the key city landmarks to provide a comprehensive city break experience.
Experience
We experience the local matchday atmosphere at least twice on each tour and also ensure we experience the culinary culture with carefully selected restaurants for dinner. Watching a match on your own just isn’t the same. You need like-minded people to share the experience with. However we restrict our group size to just 18 to make the experience more exclusive and intimate. Football experts provide knowledge and insight. As Aficionados we do not want to just watch a football match, we want to know the history, background, form and more. A football specialist such as a historian or journalist will accompany us on our discovery.
WSC discount
Subscribers and Supporters Club members receive a £75 discount on European tours.
