A two-week World Cup 2030 trip can cost $2,000 or $8,000 depending on where you stay and how many matches you watch. A realistic budget breakdown for tickets, flights, hotels and food, at three spending levels.

This guide covers match tickets: the biggest cost, flights and transport between cities, hotels, food and daily costs, and three budgets compared. Each section explains the topic with concrete examples, so you can use what you learn straight away.

Group-stage tickets are expected to range from about $60 for the cheapest category to $650 for the best seats. Watching three group matches will cost roughly $200 to $1,500 in tickets alone, depending on the category. Knockout matches cost far more, and a final ticket starts above $2,000 for the cheapest official seat.

Flights from North America or Asia to Madrid, Lisbon or Casablanca typically cost $600 to $1,200 return if booked early. Trains between host cities cost 20 to 80 euros per trip, and a rail pass can save money if you visit three or more cities. Budget for at least $300 to $600 in internal travel if you plan to follow your team across two countries.

Hostels and fan villages cost $20 to $40 a night, mid-range hotels cost $90 to $180, and prices double in Madrid and Barcelona on match days. Food costs about $15 a day in Morocco, $25 to $40 in Spain and Portugal, and more if you eat near the stadiums. A realistic daily budget, excluding tickets, is $60 to $80 in Morocco and $100 to $150 in Spain and Portugal.

Tight budget, $2,150 to $3,000 for two weeks: hostels, street food, trains, and three group matches in Morocco. Mid-range budget, $4,000 to $5,500: three-star hotels, three or four matches across two countries, and a mix of trains and flights. Comfort budget, $7,000 or more: four-star hotels, premium tickets, internal flights, and no compromises on food or transport.
