Join the Green & Gold Army for this once in a generation opportunity to support the Socceroos at the 47th edition of the Copa America. The Copa America is the world’s oldest international football competition, first being held in 1916. This 7-match package takes in the Socceroos playing arch rival Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile in the Group Stage of Copa America 2021 and two optional matches Argentina v Chile and Argentina v Paraguay.

On this tour we will visit the absolute best of Argentina. Beginning in the Paris of the south, Buenos Aires, before heading to Cordoba, then a choice of one of the world’s finest wine cities Mendoza or skiing in San Carlos de Bariloche. We stop in again at Buenos Aires before heading to the spectacular wonder of the natural world Iguazu Falls, then to Uruguay’s World Heritage Village Colonia del Sacremento before ending the tour back in Cordoba. We can’t wait.

This tour is managed by the most experienced football tour operator in Australia, endorsed by Football Federation Australia and is Socceroos focused, we know that’s why you’re here in the first place and we will visit training to get up and close with the team.

We also design our tours so you can experience and uncover the sights and culture of Argentina. We also want you to get to know and develop friendships with like-minded Australian football fans, that’s why we craft a program to maximise the ability to make new friends or reacquaint yourself with old ones.

Day 3: 

Today we are on the move to Cordoba by early morning air transfer. Cordoba is the second largest city in Argentina, is a fascinating mix of old and new. Where else will you find DJs spinning electro-tango in crowded student bars next to 17th-century Jesuit ruins? It is also home to the Socceroos opening Copa America fixture. After settling into our hotel the group transfers to our pre-match event (entertainment, food and alcohol) and then onto the match Australia v Uruguay at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.

Option 1: Buenos Aires

Take the opportunity to spend three days and nights in Argentina’s capital and enjoy steak, wine, ice cream, art, architecture, nightlife and the tango! This might a great time to immerse yourself in the Queen of the Plate, Paris of the south and also a historic European outpost with a contemporary Latin American heartbeat. Enjoy French and Italianate buildings, graceful plazas and cultural life the envy of most Old World cities.

You can also catch the match Argentina v Paraguay at Estadio Monumental.

Option 2: Mendoza

Mendoza is synonymous with wine, and this is the place to base yourself if you’re up for touring the vineyards, taking a few dozen bottles home or just looking for a good vintage to accompany the evening’s pizza. The city’s wide range of tour operators also makes it a great place to organize rafting, skiing and other adventures in the nearby Andes.
Note: the return air service between Buenos Aires & Mendoza is an additional fee.

Option 3: San Carlos de Bariloche

Winter wonderland Bariloche is located in the northern end of Patagonia. The soaring peaks of Cerros Catedral, López, Nireco and Shaihuenque ring the town, giving picture-postcard views in every direction. These mountains aren’t just for gazing, though – excellent snow coverage makes this a winter wonderland, and a magnet for skiers and snowboarders.
