Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions? We have the answers!
What do Decathlon Travel sports event packages include?
Each package includes your guaranteed official ticket to the sporting event as well as accommodation in a selected hotel, generally a 3 or 4-star establishment. Hotels are chosen for their proximity to the stadium or their easy access by public transport. Depending on the offer, additional options such as tours of legendary stadiums or discovery activities in the city may also enhance your stay.
Should you book your stay well in advance?
Yes, booking in advance is highly recommended. Big matches like those in the Six Nations Tournament, Serie A, or La Liga attract huge crowds. Official tickets and hotel rooms sell out quickly, and booking early guarantees access to the best seating areas while avoiding price increases on your travel tickets.
Is transport included in the booking?
Most packages are sold locally, combining hotel and match tickets, giving you complete freedom to choose your departure city, flight times, and preferred mode of transport (plane, train, or car). Some packages, however, allow you to add transport options when booking, depending on the destination.
What identity documents are required for these trips?
For travel to Italy and Spain, a valid national identity card or passport is sufficient for citizens of the European Union. For stays in England, a valid passport is strictly mandatory; identity cards are no longer accepted, and the required UK electronic travel authorization may also be required.

Stays related to international sporting competitions
Attending a major sporting event is no ordinary experience. Crossing borders to see the world's best athletes in action means feeling the unique fervor of the stadiums and experiencing the thrill of the unexpected in a match or race. These trips immerse you directly in the legendary arenas of the sporting world: championships, famous urban marathons, national or world finals—each sporting event delivers its own dose of adrenaline.
The experience doesn't stop at the spectacle, since many sports trips also include workshops, meetings with other fans, or free time to explore the city through the lens of sport.
Local sporting events and active holidays
Sometimes, it's the local sporting events that offer the best surprises. Discovering a region by participating in its festivities, taking part in an organized hike, or joining a small, friendly competition allows you to immerse yourself in the heart of the local sporting heritage.
These active holidays emphasize human interaction, close relationships with local residents, and the rich cultural heritage of the region. Activities vary according to the seasons, ranging from team sports tournaments and trail runs to endurance challenges accessible to all levels.
How to organize your ideal sports-themed trip?
Choosing from the diverse range of sports holidays available requires defining your priorities. Some dream of major international events, while others prefer the more intimate atmosphere of smaller, more personal sporting events. Before booking, identify the type of event you're looking for, your desired level of involvement (simple spectator or active participant), and the degree of independence you want during your stay.
Tailor-made activities for all enthusiasts
Each sports holiday can be enhanced with personalized options. The choices often include introductory sessions, technical workshops, partner visits, or recovery sessions to balance exertion and relaxation. It's possible to organize team sports days with friends or advanced training sessions to further develop skills in an individual sport.
This flexibility attracts very different profiles, from the absolute fan to the one who simply enjoys the atmosphere and takes the opportunity to discover the inner workings of organizing sporting events.
