For a nation known for its passionate football culture and devoted travelling fans, Argentina’s relatively low costs come as welcome news ahead of the expanded 48-team tournament in North America
Study shows Argentina fans among lowest spenders
According to DocSports, Argentina fans will spend approximately $1,575 each to attend all three group-stage matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The estimate covers ticket prices, hotel accommodations, and transportation between host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The study compared projected spending for fans from all 48 participating nations, factoring in regional travel costs, currency value, and local pricing.
While supporters of the host nations, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, are expected to pay significantly more, Argentine fans benefit from more affordable travel and lodging options depending on their assigned match locations.
At $1,575, the cost for Argentine supporters ranks among the lowest, underscoring how efficient travel routes and fan planning could make attending the tournament more accessible than many anticipated.
South Korea fans enjoy cheapest World Cup experience
The report also found that South Korea fans will enjoy the least expensive experience of all, with total costs projected at just $1,341.
That figure represents the lowest overall expenditure for any fanbase in the study, highlighting how factors such as flight routes, city assignments, and local affordability can dramatically impact expenses.
By contrast, Team USA supporters will pay an estimated $3,117 to follow their team through the same stage, more than double the amount required for Argentina’s followers.
The wide disparity underscores the unique logistical challenges of the first tri-nation World Cup, where match locations and travel distances vary greatly.
For Argentina’s famously loyal fanbase, the 2026 tournament is expected to draw huge numbers across North America.
