About Follow & Fly

The ultimate travel planning platform for World Cup 2026. Follow your favorite player. Plan your journey. Experience football's greatest tournament.

Our Mission

"We believe the best way to experience the World Cup is by following a player's journey. From their first group stage match to (hopefully) lifting the trophy, every game tells a story. Follow & Fly makes it easy to be part of that story."

Follow & Fly exists to solve a simple problem: planning World Cup travel is overwhelming. With 48 teams, 104 matches, and 16 host cities across three countries, where do you even start?

Our answer: follow a player.

Choose your football hero—whether it's Mbappé's speed, Haaland's power, or Yamal's brilliance—and we'll show you exactly where they'll play, when to go, where to stay, and how much it costs. Simple. Personal. Unforgettable.

Why Follow a Player?

Traditional World Cup travel planning asks: "Which matches do I want to see?" But that's backwards. Here's why following a player is better:

💙

Emotional Connection

You're not just watching games—you're witnessing your hero's journey. Every goal, every save, every moment matters more when you're invested in a player's World Cup dream.

🎯

Simplified Planning

Instead of choosing from 104 random matches, you get 3-7 curated games. One team. One story. One clear path from group stage to (hopefully) the final.

📖

Rich Storytelling

Learn about their hometown, their journey, their playing style. Our player profiles go deep, helping you appreciate what makes them special before you see them live.

🌎

Explore New Cities

Following a team means visiting 2-4 different cities as they advance. Experience diverse cultures, cuisines, and stadiums—all while supporting your player.

Our Approach: Transparent & User-First

Follow & Fly is built differently. Here's what matters to us:

🤝 Affiliate Transparency

We're honest about how we make money. When you book hotels through Booking.com, flights through Skyscanner, or activities through Viator, we earn a commission. This doesn't cost you anything extra. The prices are identical whether you book through us or directly. Commissions help us maintain and improve Follow & Fly while keeping it free for you.

📊 Real Price Data (Coming Soon)

We're working with Booking.com, Kiwi.com, Viator, and other providers to display live pricing data. Our goal: show you 5-10 hotel options per city with real prices, ratings, and availability. No more leaving our site to search elsewhere.

✍️ Quality Content

Every player profile is researched and written to inspire. We're not just listing stats—we're telling stories about where they came from, what makes them special, and why you should care. Football is emotional. Your travel planning should be too.

📱 Mobile-First Design

Most travel planning happens on phones. Follow & Fly is designed mobile-first with fast loading, intuitive navigation, and beautiful visuals. Plan your trip from the couch, the train, or the airport.

Who Is Follow & Fly For?

Behind the Scenes

Follow & Fly is a solo project built by a football fan who's passionate about making World Cup travel accessible and inspiring. After years of attending matches and navigating complex travel logistics, I wanted to create something better.

This is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) launching ahead of World Cup 2026. That means:

  • Some features are still in development (like live hotel search)
  • We're constantly improving based on user feedback
  • New players, itineraries, and guides are added regularly
  • Your feedback shapes what we build next
