A country this size makes logistics the real opponent. We're mapping the routes, ticket windows, and city-to-city moves so you're planning with real information, not guesswork, a year out.
Which host-city pairings make sense as one trip, realistic flight and bus times between them, and how to build a multi-match itinerary that doesn't fall apart on travel days.
Ticket phases as they're announced, visas and entry requirements, accommodation timing before prices spike, and stadium-specific transit and safety basics.
Countdown coverage from the ground — stadium build progress, qualifying storylines, and the host cities themselves as the tournament approaches.
Fan zones, watch parties, and city-specific things worth doing between matches — built for people who are already making the trip.
We'll track official ticket phases as FIFA announces them and flag it the moment they open.
