England supporters planning to attend the 2026 World Cup are being offered unique sports packages that include the first match along with a visit to a Rodeo and a taste of the ‘Wild West’. The Three Lions will kick off their campaign in Texas, leading tour operators to organize custom holidays for fans seeking an extraordinary experience. Just a short distance from the match venue in Dallas against Croatia on June 17 lies Fort Worth, where England enthusiasts can immerse themselves in cowboy activities at special ranches. Two tour companies in Cheshire are enticing fans with what they call the ‘ultimate match-day adventure’.
Renowned England fans Neal Weekes and Fil Sollof have expressed their interest in enjoying some Wild West Texan fun. A spokesperson for one of the tour operators stated, “Attention England Fans! The upcoming World Cup in Dallas this June presents a unique opportunity to embark on an unforgettable match-day adventure in the heart of the Wild West.”
Encouraging fans to opt for a different experience, the spokesperson added, “Instead of the usual urban getaway, consider witnessing England’s group stage matches at the iconic Dallas (Arlington) stadium and staying in the nearby Fort Worth. This isn’t just about football; it offers a genuine taste of American adventure. Fort Worth is brimming with surprises and tales waiting to be discovered!”
Painting a vivid picture of the potential experiences, the spokesperson continued, “Imagine strolling through the historic Stockyards of Fort Worth, where live country music fills the air, indulging in Texan moonshine post-match, savoring delectable dishes at top-notch steakhouses and local eateries, exploring museums, attending rodeos, and relishing the warm hospitality of the town square that has captured my heart on my previous visits.”
Highlighting the rich history, southern charm, and cowboy essence of Fort Worth, the spokesperson highlighted it as the ideal hub for a memorable World Cup journey. They assured fans of arranging the best flights, accommodations, and insider recommendations for an unforgettable experience.
Concluding the invitation, the spokesperson urged, “Are you ready to join the Three Lions in true Texas style? Reach out for match-day packages, exclusive stays in Fort Worth, and all the insider insights you need to cheer on England in authentic cowboy fashion!”
Tottenham enthusiasts Weekes, 60, and Sollof, 60, are set to fly to the US for their seventh World Cup together. Weekes humorously remarked, “This sounds fantastic. We always aim for unique experiences around England matches. Remember the camels in Qatar? A touch of the Wild West sounds exciting – a change from watching Spurs play Chelsea in west London back in the ‘80s. I may be past my bull riding days, but embracing some cowboy culture sounds like a lot of fun. It’s shaping up to be an amazing World Cup.”
