It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip, and with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through these soccer (or football) destinations with us.
Barcelona’s professional soccer team, FC Barcelona, is widely considered the backbone of Spanish football. The team often plays at its home stadium, Camp Nou, in city center and, once reopened after renovations, will continue to be the largest stadium in Europe. © Luciano Mortula | Dreamstime.com
Not to be overshadowed by Barcelona, Madrid has its own soccer team, Real Madrid CF. Competing in the same league as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid plays at Madrid’s Bernabéu stadium, the first in Europe to host both a FIFA World Cup final and UEFA Euro final. © Kasto80 | Dreamstime.com
Soccer is a religion in the United Kingdom. In London specifically, you’ll find not one, or two, or even three home Premier League soccer teams, but, as of 2026, a whopping seven teams, all with their own home stadiums. Must-visit stadiums include Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and Tottenham’s brand-new stadium in North London. © Helen Hotson | Dreamstime.com
More than 50 professional stadiums can be found in Buenos Aires, but the city is mostly dominated by five major clubs. The largest stadium in South America, El Monumental is a jaw-dropping spot to witness the game in action. Expect more than passionate fans at whichever game you go to. Fun fact: Diego Maradona, legendary soccer player, hails from Buenos Aires. © Elultimodeseo | Dreamstime.com
Milan boasts a top-tier soccer team, AC Milan, in Italian football. The team is considered one of the most successful football clubs in the world when counting trophies won. Notable past players include Paolo Maldini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. © Ellesi | Dreamstime.com
Paris’s main soccer club is Paris Saint-Germain, a relatively newer club but one of equal prestige. The team play home games at Parc des Princes in downtown Paris. The stadium has also hosted concerts by Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Prince and U2. © Blueximages | Dreamstime.com
