England supporters gearing up for the 2026 World Cup are being offered exclusive sports packages that include the first match, a Rodeo experience, and a taste of the ‘Wild West’. The Three Lions will kick off their campaign in Texas, prompting tour operators to arrange tailor-made vacations for fans seeking a unique adventure. In close proximity to the match venue in Dallas against Croatia on June 17 lies Fort Worth, where England enthusiasts can immerse themselves in cowboy activities at specialized ranches. Two tour companies in Cheshire are already vying to entice fans with what they describe as the ‘ultimate match-day experience’.
Renowned England fans Neal Weekes and Fil Sollof have expressed their enthusiasm for embracing the Wild West spirit in Texas. A spokesperson for one of the operators stated, “Calling All England Fans! The upcoming World Cup in Dallas this June offers a match-day experience that begins in the heart of the Wild West in Texas! Forget the typical city getaway, why not witness England’s group stage in the iconic Dallas (Arlington) stadium and stay in nearby Fort Worth? This isn’t just about football; it’s an authentic American adventure. Fort Worth boasts a wealth of surprises and tales waiting to be discovered!”
“Imagine strolling through the historic Stockyards of Fort Worth, where the sound of cowboy boots echoes to live country music. Savoring renowned Texan moonshine post-match, dining at exceptional steakhouses and vibrant local eateries, exploring one-of-a-kind museums, attending rodeos, and embracing the welcoming square that has captivated me on my previous visits.”
“Rich in history, exuding southern hospitality, and radiating a genuine cowboy vibe, Fort Worth serves as the perfect hub for your World Cup escapade. We ensure top-notch flights, accommodations, and insider insights for an unforgettable experience that will stay with you forever.”
“Are you ready to join the Three Lions in Texan style? Reach out to us for match-day packages, specially curated stays in Fort Worth, and all the insider details you need to cheer on England in authentic cowboy fashion!”
Tottenham enthusiasts Weekes, 60, and Sollof, 60, are set to jet off to the US for their seventh consecutive World Cup attendance. Weekes jovially remarked, “This sounds fantastic. We always strive to infuse a bit of uniqueness into our England match experiences. We tried camels in Qatar previously!”
“A touch of the ‘Wild West’ sounds fantastic – a departure from our matches in west London watching Spurs face Chelsea back in the ’80s. It might be a safer bet this time around. I think my bull riding days are behind me, but engaging in some cowboy activities sounds like a blast. This World Cup is going to be phenomenal.”
