Secret Match Day Arvostelua 368

We had a brilliant weekend away with Secret Match Day in Valencia and couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough! Everything ran perfectly from start to finish — the organisation was spot on and made the whole trip completely stress-free. Our hotel was fantastic: modern, comfortable, and in a brilliant central location that made it easy to explore the city.

As a group of 13 seasoned “football tourists”, we’ve organised plenty of trips ourselves in the past, but this time it was a joy to let Secret Match Day handle everything. The surprise element of not knowing the destination until a couple of weeks before just adds to the excitement and makes the whole experience even more special.

We even managed to squeeze in an extra game (Levante v Girona), which was a great bonus and easy to arrange online before we got to Valencia.

The team at SMD were fantastic throughout — always helpful, friendly, and quick to respond whenever we had a question. It’s clear they genuinely care about making sure everyone has a great trip.

An unforgettable football weekend with a brilliant group of friends. We’ll definitely be travelling with Secret Match Day again — 5 stars all the way!

Just back from an Obscurer to Gothenburg.
Great flights,accommodation and city.
IFK Gothenburg cup match, good game and atmosphere in packed stadium.
Well organised and we had a great time.
Gothenburg definitely worth a visit.
Looking forward to another match next season

Genuinely fantastic weekend away courtesy of Secret Match Day, booked for 7 people. The wait in itself added to the experience but for the real thing: Early morning flights out and late evening return for us meant 3 full days of Lille, France - beautiful city. Flew into Charleroi, Belgium and out from Charles de Galle, France which initially appeared ridiculous but the transfers we were signposted to by SMD were cheap and quick so they know their stuff. E.g. One hour direct train from Lille to CDG at a very cheap price and so we upgraded to First Class for literally a minimal sum each. Fantastic! The overall package booking was easy, the itinerary and information provided on 'announcement' was very informative about the destination and travel details but also signposting to transfer options was great. A hotel Campanile just on the edge of the city. Nice, clean, straightforward, just what you need. Yes, I've researched how much we could have done it for ourselves post event. Obviously a bit cheaper, but to be honest I'd definitely still do SMD again. The surprise element itself has massive value. And no, no affinity of any means to SMD - Yorkshireman who is frugal and says it as it is. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic trip to Berlin watching Hertha Berlin in the Olympic stadium
We can’t thank the team enough for making our experience one to remember
Definitely booking again for next year

I took my 11year old son and it couldn't have gone any better.

Booked as part of his Christmas, he was checking the potential fixtures for weeks. 10days before found out he was off to Brussels and he was delighted

The hotel was ideal, great city and a perfect venue to attend

We'll no doubt do something again in 2027

Thank you

An outstanding trip from start to finish, our 2nd time. Even losing my passport couldn’t take away from what was a perfectly organised experience. The flight times were ideal. Transfer instructions were spot on, and the hotel exceeded expectations, offering excellent service, facilities and cleanliness all just a short walk from town. The match-day guide was again exceptional, with clear directions and then some great seats for a thrilling game. Everything hit the sweet spot, and we’re already planning next season — we’ll definitely be back for round three!

spent the weekend just gone in Dusseldorf with my two sons and attended Borussia Mönchengladbach .Great seats and electric atmosphere. This is my 3rd year in a row using Secret Match Day

If you have someone who is football mad, this trip is a must. My 2 grandsons have just returned from their trip to Spain.
Secret match day made the whole experience straightforward, everything was explained in great detail. The hotel was spotlessly clean and was in close distance to the stadium.
Honestly, booking with secret match day took all the stress out of trying to organise ourselves. Thank you so much to all the team at Secret Match Day.

Great trip from beginning to end! Three great days in Milan with tickets to an AC Milan game. My 14 year old son and I loved it!

This being our third time using secret match day, you would have expected the novelty to have worn off a bit. Nothing could be further from the truth.

My son and I had an awesome weekend in Austria, and even though the local team lost 1-5, the atmosphere in the stadium was nonstop.

As always, the organisation from the team at secret match day was excellent, from the flights to the accommodation. I have zero complaints.

I will definitely be booking again in the future as I can't recommend highly enough

4 of us are just back from Belgium having purchased the '2 Legger' package. We received 2 tickets each for 2 top flight Belgian matches at Gent and Brugge, we were even lucky enough to receive a hospitality upgrade on our tickets for Club Brugge. We all agreed that this experience was absolutely worth the money and we intend to book again in the future. Secret Match Day were always on hand to answer any questions and took our requirements into consideration when the initial booking was made. I'll be in touch soon!

Just come back from a weekend in Germany watching Freiburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach. What an amazing experience me and my son had. Everything was organised for us with really good instructions on how to get about and info on the city. We will definitely be booking to go again.

Just returned from our 5th! Secret Match Day experience with a 6th booked for April 26! This time we opted for the Double Legger and not at all dissapointed by the trip to Brussels! Travelled Friday morning, first match Friday night at KAA Gent v Cercle Brugge and then all day Saturday to sightsee, second match Saturday night at Union v Antwerp, then all day Sunday to ourselves before flying home Monday morning at 10am. What a weekend, these guys just do it the best! Everything ran smoothly (as it always does!) and we cant wait for April! My teenager gets to combine his two greatest passions, travel and football and SMD just make it so easy!

We’ve just come back from our Secret Matchday fixture in Austria and honestly… what an experience. It’s a game we would never have picked or even known about ourselves, but that’s exactly the magic of it. The fans were incredible, the stadium had such a buzz, and the whole atmosphere was electric (even if the result didn’t quite go our way!).

My son Thomas and I had the best time. It felt like a real adventure from start to finish and we’ve made memories that will genuinely last a lifetime.

You can tell real thought goes into choosing the fixtures – thank you for such a brilliant experience. We’re already talking about our next Secret Matchday!

It was a gift for my son and grandson, the excitement for my grandson not knowing who he was going see was wonderful his words ‘it was epic Nanny!’

We had our secret Match day in Marseille. Everything was arranged as per their pledge on the website I couldn’t find fault with anything and I’m pleased to be giving a positive review. I would highly recommend using secret Match day as they didn’t disappoint.

Great experience and great value! Secret Match day make it really structured and easy to follow. From receiving your destination guide to having to send documents to travel everything is made super simple. The travel information was well structured and easy to follow making it really hard to miss flights or even the game.

We got KV Mechelen vs Antwerp in Belgium, in which we got to stay in Brussels which was an amazing experience. Secret Matchday gave us a decent amount of time before the game so we decided to book tickets to the KAA Gent vs Leuven game which added to the experience. The city was unreal, the destination guide gave us the information we needed to get around the city and also the attractions within the city, making it super easy to get around. Finally, The Mechelen game was super easy to get to as it was in the destination guide. The game was absolutely top, you can see it’s well thought out by Secret Matchday, they don’t just send you to a random game for the sake of it.

Unfortunately, we found that the area that our hotel was in was pretty poor. The hotel itself was really good, with top facilities, however the actual area itself was rough. The view was really nice and from the outside looking in you wouldn’t think it was a bad area but the minute you walked out you seen why. There were rats everywhere due to the amount of bin bags being left outside with drug dealers left right and centre within the red light district you honestly didn’t feel safe walking back to the hotel… although it was quite funny though🤣. We met a few people who was on the secret matchday and in the exact same hotel as us, they said the exact same thing. Great hotel, really poor area.

All in all unreal experience at a great price, would recommend it to anyone. We will 100% be back!❤️

Brilliant experience great communication. Flights booked for a decent time so could make the most of the first day in Frieburg, hotel booked right next to train station so great transport links to Basel and the airport. Would definitely use again

I used secretmatchday to arrange a surprise trip for my son’s 21st birthday, him and his brother were sent to Karlsruhe, Germany and had an excellent experience. I had a couple of requests prior to the trip and the team were more than accommodating with these and provided a unique birthday experience for my sons 21st.

Just back from a secret football trip and it was a blast!! Everything went smoothly and was well worth it. Definitely do it again.
