Romance and football go together way better than football and beer or chips. Yes. We said that. If you don't feel like that, the only problem may be that you haven't met the right person yet. Dating a fellow football fan changes everything. It's simpler to pick holiday destinations. You don't fight over the TV remote... You simply enjoy each other's passion.
We've listed some cities that are home to big clubs or have a long tradition of being obsessed with football. But don't think you must be in a relationship to visit cities with famous football teams and get some romance there.
If anything is simple nowadays, it's getting in touch with new people. Connecting with people far away has never been simpler because of social media and dating platforms. You can meet some people from the place you plan to visit before leaving your living room to ensure you'll have a local to guide you around.
But you can be an adventurer who arrives at the destination and then creates a profile on a casual dating site to get nearby hookups with local singles. Thanks to accurate geolocation features, all you have to do upon arrival is to log in and browse the community. You'll see profiles of singles living in the area. Some will show that football is their favorite sport. So it will be easy to start chatting.
What makes a city a football city? And what makes it a romantic football city?
In our opinion, a city is a football city if its football club has a role in creating its identity. And it's romantic and football if it has beautiful places for dates (other than their local stadium).
Now, let's check them out...
Barcelona is home to Camp Nou. Every football fan has heard about it. Even Madrid fans want to visit Camp Nou. It's simply one of the most legendary stadiums in the world. There, couples can learn about the rich history of FC Barcelona. They can refresh their memories about iconic victories to players.
Other than spending as much time as possible at Camp Nou, we suggest couples take romantic walks along La Rambla. It's full of street performers and cafes perfect for relieving newly created memories or planning the next stop of your visit to Barcelona.
In Milan, the home of football beats at San Siro Stadium, home to the legendary AC Milan and Inter Milan. Visiting this iconic arena is a must for football fans. Why else would you visit Italy at all?
Just kidding, of course.
After learning all about famous football clubs from Milan, couples can enjoy the Navigli district. Eating fresh Italian food, drinking some of the best wines in the world, and maybe even visiting La Scala to combine sports culture with “real†culture will make the trip to Milan one to remember.
In Paris, the home of football is at Parc des Princes. It's a pilgrimage for devoted fans, immersing couples in the spirited ambiance of the game. Watching Mbbape outrun everyone may be one of the most romantic date activities in the world if you're a football fan.
Yet after enjoying the game, get lost in the City of Light. There are so many places to visit. Too many to fit in this article. You probably already know at least 5 spots in Paris to visit. We'll let you create your own list for that. Just don't forget to enjoy authentic French cuisine and wine because in Paris, every bite, every drop, and every spot is full of romance and passion for life.
It doesn't matter if you think Manchester is red or blue (even though it's been blue for a while now). You can still visit both Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium. Homes to Manchester United and Manchester City, those stadiums and stories related to them are enough for everyone to have 10 dates there.
But don't visit Manchester and stick to nothing but football. If we have to pick one part of Manchester where football fans can have great dates, it'd be The Northern Quarter. From exploring shops, cozy cafes, and some of the best restaurants in the city, couples can find numerous activities there.
Lisbon, a city of cultural fusion, invites football enthusiasts to indulge in the atmospheres of Estádio da Luz and Estádio José Alvalade.
Beyond the roar of the stadiums, romantic tram rides through historic neighborhoods like Alfama are another must-do activity in Portugal's capital.
