The CSL is one of the more recent additions to the FIFA football associations. There are numerous leagues around the world and nothing beats the experience and atmosphere of a top flight European game where many of the world’s greatest stars ply their trade.
We have hotels and accommodation in many of the major football cities around the globe and if you are planning a trip then we whole-heartedly recommend catching a game in one of these elite leagues.
The greatest football league in the world! Founded in 1992 The Premier League has since become the world's most watched sporting league. If you are thinking of catching a game then your first stop would probably be Manchester where United and City battle it out, tickets may be expensive but finding good Manchester Hotels doesn’t have to be. Alternatively London always has a number of top flight sides and grabbing both a ticket and a cheap London Hotel can be pretty easy. One little tip, if you only have a short trip but score tickets for Fulham, Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham it may be worth considering some Heathrow Airport Hotels, very affordable and the trains run out to the airport all night long!
USA: MLS
The USA is finally warming up to the idea of ‘soccer’ as a real sport, with an ever improving national team and an influx of quality talent from Europe the MLS is fast becoming a league to be reckoned with. Two of the most recognizable teams are the New York Red Bulls and the L.A Galaxy and both benefit from a large number of tourist supporters, if you are looking for New York Accommodation or Hotels in Los Angeles then check out our USA hotels for more great offers.
Ligue 1 is the top division of French football. It has been an all-professional league since 1932 but hasn’t quite experienced the same global success as its other European counterparts. Olympic Lyonnais are probably the most successful team of recent memory but Paris St Germain have the history, the name, the stadium and the tourism! If you are thinking of catching a game in France then Paris is probably THE place to be, Cheap Paris Hotels can be hard to come by so it is worth looking in less sought after areas or maybe hotels near the Eurostar for better availability and deals. There is plenty of accommodation in France and it is a good bet for the travelling fan as tickets are easier to buy then those in Spain, Italy or the U.K.
Serie A is a professional league located at the top of the Italian football league system and is widely regarded as one of the elite leagues of the footballing world. The league has produced the highest number of European Cup finalists in history with Italian clubs reaching the final on twenty-five different occasions and winning the title eleven times. AC Milan vs Inter Milan is one of footballs biggest rivalries which is only heightened by the fact that they share a stadium, if you are looking for a Cheap Milan Hotel close to the San Siro then we do have a few. Roma vs Lazio is the big clash in the nation’s capital and any time that the derby is on the demand for accommodation in Rome skyrockets! Italian travel can be beautiful but to truly experience intense Italian passion you can’t beat the football.
La Liga is the top professional football league in Spain. Nine clubs have been crowned Campeones de Liga. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have dominated the competition -31 and 18 league titles respectively – and both have beautiful stadiums that are major tourist attractions in their own right. We can’t help with tickets which are tough to come by but if you need a Cheap Hotel in Madrid or Barcelona Accommodation then we can be of assistance. Alternatively there are a number of other top flight teams around Spain and if you are travelling about then we have a great range of hotels in Spain that may come in handy.
The Bundesliga is the highest level of the German football league system. The Bundesliga was not formed until 1963 and the structure and organisation of the nation's football leagues have undergone frequent changes right up to the present day. Despite this surprising lack of organisation the Bundesliga does have a number of landmark teams including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 all of who attract a good number of visiting fans which can usually be accommodated due to the leagues huge stadiums, tourists should have no trouble finding accommodation in Munich or a place to stay in Berlin and most hotel concierges can arrange match day tickets.
The Scottish Premier League is a professional competition for football clubs located at the top level of the Scottish football league system. Per capita more people in Scotland watch their domestic top level league than any other nation in Europe! Essentially though -much like Spain- this league is all about two teams Glasgow Rangers and Celtic. The two teams dominate the league, play to packed stadiums and to call the Old Firm game ‘raucous’ would be a MAJOR understatement! Much like the football there are only really two cities that attract major tourism and with cheap Edinburgh hotels at a premium accommodation in Glasgow is becoming ever more popular.
