This guide covers spain: 11 stadiums, 9 cities, portugal: 3 stadiums, 2 cities, morocco: 6 cities, 6 stadiums, and the centenary cities in south america. Each section explains the topic with concrete examples, so you can use what you learn straight away.

Spain hosts the most matches, with stadiums in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Bilbao, San Sebastian, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga, La Coruna, Las Palmas and Gijon. Madrid has two venues, the Bernabeu and the Metropolitano, while Barcelona's Camp Nou returns as one of the tournament's biggest stages. Spanish host cities are connected by high-speed rail, making multi-city trips practical for fans.

Portugal's venues are the Estadio da Luz and Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon, plus the Estadio do Dragao in Porto. Lisbon and Porto are the most compact hosts in the tournament, with stadiums, airports and city centres minutes apart. Portugal is the smallest host nation, which makes it the easiest base for fans who want to see several matches without long travel.

Morocco's host cities are Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir and Fes, with the Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca as the showpiece. Morocco is the most affordable host nation by a wide margin, with hotels and food costing roughly half of Spanish prices. The Moroccan venues mix brand-new stadiums with rebuilt classics, and the atmosphere is expected to be among the loudest in the tournament.

Three matches will be played in South America to mark 100 years since the first World Cup: Montevideo in Uruguay, Buenos Aires in Argentina and Asuncion in Paraguay. These are one-off celebration matches before the main tournament moves to Europe and Africa. For fans, the centenary matches are the rarest tickets in the tournament, with tiny allocations and huge global demand.
