Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: April 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

Stadium Route is built on trust. Every hotel recommendation, eSIM guide, visa tip, and city safety map we publish is created to genuinely help football fans navigate the 2026 FIFA World Cup across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. To keep this resource free for fans worldwide, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This page explains exactly how that works.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a way for websites like Stadium Route to earn a small commission by recommending products and services we genuinely believe in. When you click a link on our website and make a purchase or booking through that link, the third-party company pays us a referral fee. This happens automatically through tracking technology and comes at absolutely zero extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would have paid by going directly to that company’s website.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

Throughout stadiumroute.com, you will find links to third-party travel services including hotel booking platforms, eSIM data providers, flight search tools, and travel insurance providers. These may be affiliate links. Our current affiliate partners include, but are not limited to:

Accommodation: Booking.com (via Awin affiliate network)

eSIM & Mobile Data: Airalo and other regional eSIM providers via Travelpayouts

Flights & Inter-City Travel: Flight search tools and booking aggregators via Travelpayouts

Travel Utilities: Various travel gear, insurance, and service providers

We do not always label every individual affiliate link with a disclaimer banner — doing so would clutter the page and make the content harder to read. Instead, we provide this dedicated disclosure page and reference it in our footer on every page of the site, so you always know where we stand.

How This Affects Our Recommendations

This is the most important thing we want you to understand: affiliate commissions do not influence which products or services we recommend.

We only link to services that we believe provide genuine value to World Cup travellers. We do not accept payment to feature or rank any specific hotel, eSIM provider, or travel service above others. Our hotel recommendations are based on proximity to stadiums, neighbourhood safety data, and value for money — not on which partner pays the highest commission rate.

If we wouldn’t recommend it to a friend travelling to the World Cup, we don’t link to it.

FTC Compliance (United States)

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines set out in 16 CFR Part 255, Stadium Route discloses that we have a material connection to the affiliate programs listed above. This means we may receive compensation when you click on links and make purchases. This disclosure applies to all content on stadiumroute.com, including blog posts, city guides, trip planning pages, and destination pages.

ASA Compliance (United Kingdom)

In accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) Code, Stadium Route clearly discloses when content contains affiliate links or when we have a commercial relationship with a brand or service provider. UK visitors should be aware that clicking affiliate links on our site constitutes marketing communication as defined by ASA guidelines.

What We Do Not Do

To be completely clear about our standards:

• We do not accept payment to write positive reviews of any product or service
• We do not accept free products or services in exchange for guaranteed positive coverage
• We do not alter our editorial recommendations based on commission rates
• We do not feature services we have not researched or would not use ourselves
• We do not have any financial relationship with FIFA, any football club, or any official World Cup ticketing platform
• We do not earn commissions from match ticket sales — any ticket resale links are provided for convenience only and we strongly advise you to verify ticket authenticity independently

Third-Party Responsibility

When you click an affiliate link and leave stadiumroute.com, you enter a third-party website governed by that company’s own terms, privacy policy, and pricing. Stadium Route has no access to your booking details, payment information, or reservation records. If you experience any issue with a booking — a cancelled hotel, an invalid eSIM, a delayed flight — you must contact that third-party provider directly. We are not responsible for the products, services, or conduct of any third-party affiliate partner.
