All match venues, host cities, and dates are fixed as per the official World Cup 2026 match schedule. Each fixture, including all group-stage and knockout-stage permutations, is tied to a specific city and stadium.

Vara5 offers two distinct types of World Cup access:

• Curated World Cup journeys, which include accommodation, match tickets, and coordinated on-ground logistics
• Match access and hospitality experiences, which focus exclusively on stadium access and premium matchday environments

Each experience is designed differently and governed by its own terms.

Curated World Cup journeys are multi-day programs that include accommodation, match tickets, and planned logistics such as transfers and on-ground support. These journeys are designed to offer a structured and seamless experience across one or more matches.

Standalone match access includes match tickets or hospitality experiences only. Accommodation, transfers, and other travel services are not included unless explicitly stated.

Hospitality experiences combine a match ticket with access to premium seating areas, curated lounge environments, and enhanced food and beverage offerings within the stadium's secure perimeter. These experiences vary by stadium and match and may include shared lounges or more exclusive hosted settings.

Standard match tickets provide stadium entry and allocated seating only, without additional hospitality access.

Ticket categories are defined by seating location and viewing quality within the stadium:

• Category 1 offers the most premium standard seating with excellent sightlines
• Category 2 provides strong views from less central locations

Ticket categories are subject to availability and vary by match and city.

Hospitality experiences vary by stadium and match and may include options such as Pitchside Lounge experiences, Champions Club-style lounges, Trophy Lounge environments, or private suite-style offerings. Each category differs in seating location, lounge access, and service level.

Full details of inclusions will be shared at the time of enquiry.

Hotels are included only in curated World Cup journeys. Standalone match tickets and hospitality experiences do not include accommodation or travel services unless explicitly specified.

Many of the accommodations used within curated journeys are secured specifically for the tournament period and are not publicly available once the World Cup begins.

Curated World Cup journeys typically include coordinated airport transfers and matchday transportation as part of the overall experience. Inclusions vary by journey and city and will be clearly outlined before booking confirmation.

Standalone match access does not include transfers or logistics.

For journeys designed around a specific team, the experience continues based on the tournament structure in place at that stage. As these journeys are planned around fixed match schedules and services, they are not cancellable due to team elimination.

Specific details will be communicated clearly before booking.

Cancellation and refund policies vary depending on the product selected. Curated journeys, standalone tickets, and hospitality experiences are governed by different terms and conditions. All applicable policies will be disclosed in full before any booking is confirmed.

Booking timelines and payment structures vary by product, match selection, and travel dates. Some experiences require deposits, while others require full payment at confirmation. All timelines and payment terms will be clearly communicated during the booking process.

Guests travelling to matches in the United States will require a valid U.S. visa. Guests travelling to Canada or Mexico must meet the relevant entry requirements for those countries. Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended. Additional requirements will be communicated once journey details are finalised.

Any changes to match schedules are handled in accordance with the applicable supplier policies. These policies will be shared at the time of booking, and Vara5 will guide guests through any implications should changes occur.
