SinceAustralian supporters. Global football.
Small-group football journeys built around the Socceroos, the world game and the people you meet along the way.
The IFT story
International Football Tours was founded by John McGauran to give Australia’s growing football community a dedicated way to experience the game’s biggest moments overseas.
John has been following the Socceroos for over 25 years and has taken football groups to Australian away qualifiers across Asia and the Middle East, along with multiple World Cups. That same hands-on approach shaped IFT: quality accommodation, sensible transfers, welcoming group functions, local discovery and enough free time to make the trip your own.
From Lebanon to Tokyo and across Russia and Brazil, the aim has stayed simple—make it easier for Australian supporters to get closer to the football and share the journey with people who care just as much.
Where we’ve been
A 17-day supporter journey through Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Sochi and St Petersburg, built around Australia’s group matches against France, Denmark and Peru.
A week combining Bangkok’s temples, canals and the River Kwai with Australia’s qualifier at Rajamangala Stadium.
An eight-night Japan experience, including Osaka, Hiroshima, Tokyo, the Shinkansen and the decisive Japan v Australia qualifier.
And many more trips over the last two decades.
The next great journey
Three main host nations. A century of World Cup history. One extraordinary supporter adventure.
Spain, Portugal and Morocco will host the main tournament. FIFA has also scheduled one centenary celebration match in each of Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, recognising the competition’s South American beginnings.
The opening ceremony and opening game or games are currently planned for 13–14 June 2030, with the final scheduled for 21 July. Match cities, the full schedule, qualification and ticket arrangements will be added as official details are released.
