Your guide to international soccer travel, World Cup experiences, and matchday trips most fans only ever dream about.The Footy Travelers Podcast is the show for soccer fans who actually want to take the trip—not just watch the highlights. Hear from the fans, journalists, and obsessives who chase football across continents, and turn their stories into a playbook you can actually use. From Anfield on 9/11 to a Saudi Pro League matchday. From honeymooning with the Premier League trophy in the Seychelles to a 15-month world tour of different football cultures. These are the trips that change how you see the game—and the conversations that show you how to plan your own. Whether you're booking your first Premier League weekend, prepping for the World Cup or chasing a bucket-list match in Buenos Aires, Riyadh, or Tokyo, every episode delivers real, on-the-ground intel from fellow footy travelers who've been there.
