Be there for the moments you’ll remember forever

From the roar of the crowd to standing among thousands in your team colours, this is more than just a trip. It’s your chance to be part of the atmosphere, to celebrate every goal, every try, every point with people who feel it just as much as you do.

Which of these thoughts have crossed your mind as you plan your sports trip?

  • “I want the full supporter experience, not a trip that feels disorganised or stressful.”
  • “I’d like to know everything is sorted before I even board the plane.”
  • “I want options that fit my budget without feeling like I’m missing out.”
  • “I’d love a mix of big moments with the team and time to enjoy the city.”
  • “I want to feel part of something special, not just another traveller in the crowd.”
  • “I want memories I can share with family and friends, not a trip filled with hassles.”

It’s problems and questions like these that we love solving with our sports travel management service. Keep reading to learn more.

How we help you see it all, feel it all, and skip the stress

Over the past 20 years, SportsLink Travel has taken thousands of fans from Australia to sporting events across the globe, giving them unforgettable experiences without the hassle of planning it themselves.

Unlike booking your own trip or going with a generic travel provider, we focus 100% on sports tours. We combine official supporter access, premium seating, behind-the-scenes moments, and curated local experiences with seamless logistics so you can focus on the atmosphere, not the admin.

Our process is simple and begins with choosing your tour and securing your place. From there…

  • You’ll know exactly what’s included and where you’ll be sitting before you travel
  • You’ll enjoy the energy of travelling with like-minded fans in official supporter sections
  • You’ll have free time alongside a carefully planned itinerary that includes sightseeing, cultural events, and fan gatherings
  • You’ll be looked after by experienced tour leaders who handle transport, tickets, and any unexpected challenges
  • And on selected tours, you’ll meet players, attend team events, and enjoy moments most fans will never get close to

Many travellers are surprised at how much more they see, do, and experience compared to going alone, and relieved to find there’s a way to make their dream trip effortless and unforgettable.

Sure,
I know what you’re thinking

“I can book it myself.”

You could. But you’ll spend hours comparing hotels, juggling flight times, and hoping you’re close to the team. We’ve already done that work and secured the group seating, family-friendly hotels, and transfers that make everything easy.

“We’ve travelled before. We know how it works.”

That’s great. But this isn’t an ordinary trip. It’s about being part of your child’s team community, celebrating with other families, sitting together in the stands, and having a support crew who knows the schedule inside out.

“It might be cheaper if I do it on my own.”

On paper, maybe. But by the time you add tickets, transfers, accommodation, and hours of coordination, you’ll likely spend more for less. Our packages are negotiated in bulk, locking in better value and guaranteed access.

“I don’t need a full package. I just want to see the games.”

That’s exactly why we exist. We make sure you can just see the games without worrying about how to get there, where to stay, or what happens if plans change.

“What if something goes wrong while we’re away.”

You’ll never be alone. Our tour leaders and local partners handle any issues quickly so you can focus on your son or daughter, not the logistics.

“We’d prefer to plan it our own way.”

That’s fine too. But the real magic comes from being part of the group. The shared cheers, the family dinners, and the friendships that last long after the final whistle.

SportsLink Travel isn’t just a way to get to the game. It’s the way to be part of it, without the stress, without the guesswork, and without missing a single moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to stay?

We choose 3–4 star hotels close to the venue, so you can get to and from the game easily. Often, you’ll be in the same accommodation as other supporters, and sometimes even the teams or sponsors.

How do I buy my tickets?

You don’t have to. All your event tickets are included in your package, and they’re hand-picked for atmosphere and view, often in official supporter sections.

I don’t know how much things will cost or worry it will cost too much.

Our packages are designed to make budgeting simple. You’ll see exactly what’s included before you book, with no hidden costs. By bundling tickets, accommodation, transport, activities, and merchandise, you often get better value than booking separately.

How do I get from the hotel to the stadium?

We arrange all match-day transport for you, so you never have to worry about navigating unfamiliar routes or missing kick-off.

How do I get from X to Y?

Whether it’s a sightseeing spot, a fan event, or another city, we either arrange group transport or give you clear, easy-to-follow options. Your tour leader is always available to help.

What else can I do in the surrounding area?

Every tour includes curated sightseeing and cultural experiences that show you the best of the host city. You’ll also get insider recommendations for local food, attractions, and hidden gems.

How can I maximise my time?

Our itineraries are balanced with both structured activities and free time. This means you get the must-see experiences without feeling rushed, and you can still explore on your own.

How can I get the best experience?

Travel with fellow fans, enjoy official supporter status, take part in fan events, and let us handle the planning. This way, you can focus entirely on the atmosphere, the camaraderie, and the game.
