Following Argentina to a World Cup has always been an intense and costly experience, but the 2026 edition adds an extra challenge: the matches will be spread across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and the national team will play its three games in very distant American cities. This forces any fan who wants to be present to build complex logistics and do careful accounting. Argentina will play in Group J, where it will face Austria, Algeria, and Jordan. According to the Argentine News Agency, with the draw already set, Argentina will debut in Kansas City, play its second match in San Francisco, and close the group stage in Dallas. Three destinations with high accommodation prices, extensive internal flights, and a level of demand that will only increase as the tournament approaches. For a minimum stay of four nights per city: A 4-star hotel in Kansas City costs between $180 and $300 per night. In San Francisco, the same category is usually between $230 and $350 per night. In Dallas, the average range is between $160 and $260. In total, to fully accompany the initial phase, a traveler could spend between $1,500 and $2,500 just on accommodation. Tickets for the matches: a flexible but high budget. The official prices depend on the chosen category, and FIFA sets variable values depending on the host city.
