Bilingual Guide

The original World Champions, Campeones del Mundo. Famed for their Garra Charrúa (grit and fight), the Uruguayans consistently punch above their weight on the international football scene.

While their world titles were won many moons ago, no country of this size or population has been able to replicate the achievements of La Celeste (the sky blues). Tehre really is something special about Uruguyan football.

Where we'll meet - Our group will meet in central Montevideo and head towards Parque Battle, the iconic park housing not only the famous Centenario stadium, but others as well.

The Build-Up - We’ll do the previa (pre-match) at a local bar or in the streets of the Parque Batlle neighbourhood where the stadium is located, mingling with other "Charrúa" fans and learning their traditions, especially how to do the correct wrist-flick for our agite and how to prepare a Fernet&Coca viajero. Your guide will accompany you in reduced groups (6-8 pax) to the correct entrance gate, through the squeeze of security controls and police checkpoints, and finally into the ground.

The Match - Through the turnstiles and up the stairs - the interior of the Centenario retains its original design, a true throwback. The details are incredible and really stand out compared to the modern era's identikit stadium designs.
The Cele fans will be in full colour and voice, cheering on their beloved heroes. One thing you'll notice are the scores of fans sipping their yerba mate with their thermoses tucked under their arms - a must for any Uruguay fan.

The Come-Down - The game is over but memories are forever. You’ll head back to Montevideo with your guide, making sure you get back home safely.

Important to know

  • For some clubs, tickets are very hard to come by and are available exclusively to members, to sponsors, or can only be found through various levels of re-sale. For others, tickets are available but can only be bought in-person, with local ID/bank cards, or through various other inventive ways of wasting your time. We will make sure to find tickets for you and guarantee their authenticity.
  • The access to the stadium is filled with different controls and security checks in which police and fans get mixed up, sometimes creating tension. Our expert guides have navigated these sites dozens of times, know the ins and outs, and can anticipate and handle these situations so you don’t have to.
  • Many football fans in Argentina are not used to seeing tourists and barely speak English. In a way, this is what makes our experience truly authentic, and we will help with Spanish so no language barriers affect your match-day.
  • Many supporters will appreciate it if you show your support through your clothing, by wearing the club's merchandise like a shirt, beanie, jacket, etc. Dressing with the club colours will be fine, but if you want a jersey make sure to take a look at our store.
  • Football in Argentina is an amazing subculture. Our expert guide will let you know everything you need about the context of the game, the history of the clubs, the traditional pre-game rituals, the meaning of the songs you will hear, the significance of the flags and symbols, and more.
  • The chaos and unpredictability in Argentine football are what makes it uniquely beautiful, and uniquely frustrating. The League often decides fixtures at the last moment, and changes can happen late on also. If this is the case, we will let you know in advance for you to make a decision according to your availability.
