Carry a fully charged power bank and an international adapter for overseas trips, as outlets in stadiums and airports can be limited.

Beat the rush by arriving at the venue well before the event starts. This gives you time for security checks and exploring the stadium.

Stay hydrated, especially if attending a summer event or travelling long distances. Bring a reusable water bottle where allowed, and pack small snacks for convenience.

Store all your travel confirmations, tickets, and documents on your phone or cloud storage for easy access. Download maps, local transit apps, and venue details before you leave.

Consider buying an eSIM for seamless mobile connectivity in your destination country. These digital SIM cards are easy to install and allow you to avoid high roaming charges. Alternatively, check if your current provider offers affordable international roaming packages.

Pack smart! Dress for the event and weather. For outdoor games, bring rain gear, sunscreen, or warm layers. Don’t forget a portable charger or an international plug adapter if travelling abroad – plug points vary by country.

Carefully review what’s included in your package, such as event tickets, accommodation, and transfers. Consider optional add-ons like flights, hospitality upgrades, or additional sightseeing activities.

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your return date, and confirm visa requirements and allow enough time for processing if necessary.

Popular sports events sell out quickly. Book your travel package early to secure the best options for tickets, accommodation, and travel dates.
