How we help you balance work, fun, and connection

For more than 20 years, SportsLink Travel has supported teams, players, families, and staff at sporting events around the world. We know support staff carry extra responsibility — so our tours are designed to reduce stress and make sure you feel included in the experience.

With us, you’ll get official supporter access, quality accommodation, group activities, and social events that let you connect with players, families, and other staff while still having time to relax and enjoy the destination.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Convenient 3–4 star accommodation, often the same hotels as teams or sponsors.
  • Pre- and post-game group events so you can celebrate with the community.
  • Built-in social time, from group dinners to pub meetups, so you feel part of the tour atmosphere.
  • Curated sightseeing and cultural activities for when you’re off-duty.
  • Seamless logistics — from transport to ticketing — so you don’t have to manage the details yourself.

A supportive environment where staff, families, and fans travel together and share the experience.

Sure,
I know what you’re thinking

“I can just book everything myself.”

You could. But you’ll spend valuable time comparing hotels, sorting transfers, and trying to keep up with the team schedule. We’ve already handled those details so you can focus on supporting the players and enjoying the experience.

“I’ve done plenty of team travel before.”

That’s great. But this trip isn’t only about logistics. It’s about connection, relaxing with colleagues, sharing moments with families, and being part of the group energy that makes the experience special.

“It might be cheaper to book direct.”

Possibly at first glance. But our packages are built on long-standing partnerships that deliver better value, better locations, and smoother travel. You also get the structure, events, and support that individual bookings cannot match.

“I’ll just stay wherever the team is.”

That works if you have access to those bookings. We make sure you do. You’ll stay near the team and sponsors, travel on the same schedules, and be included in shared supporter experiences.

“I don’t need all the extras.”

The extras are what make it memorable. The group dinners, the shared downtime, and the easy camaraderie are what turn a work trip into a genuine highlight.

“I’d rather stay flexible and plan as I go.”

We understand. Our itineraries are designed with free time built in so you can explore or unwind without worrying about missing anything important.

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.
