Is Homefans responsible for the activity?
Even though we are a friendly bunch, we are not directly responsible for the activity.
We are a marketplace, which means we facilitate that travellers like yourself, take part in a sports experience offered by a fully-vetted local host who has enrolled on the platform.
The responsibility to carry out the activity relies exclusively on the local host. However, we as a marketplace and acting in the interests of everyone, supervise everything and facilitate comms and support when needed for a flawless experience.
I can just get a ticket why should I book a matchday experience?
Homefans is created with the mission to connect sport fans in any destination around the world. Attending sports events is so much better when experiences are shared and when you can learn something about the club or the destination.
Whilst getting just a ticket is an option for travellers, matchday experiences on the Homefans marketplace are all led by locals. Which means you don’t have to worry about the logistics and will be in safe hands on match days.
In some destinations and clubs, it’s best to be accompanied with a local rather than going on your own. Every host on the Homefans marketplace is screened and vetted, so you can enjoy a safe and memorable experience wherever you go!
Is the match date confirmed?
Whilst the fixture calendar has been released, final confirmed dates are usually announced 2weeks before the kick-off date, due to TV schedule and the AFA (Argentina Football Association) disposition.
It is possible then, that Sunday matches will move to Saturday, Monday and vice-versa. The local hosts will keep you posted in case there is a change.
When will I receive confirmation of the tour?
When you choose and pay for your an activity on the Homefans marketplace, you will receive a booking confirmation directly after the booking via email. In this confirmation, you will get all the details of your booking.
You can always reach out for any questions regarding your experience. Your host will reach out via Whatsapp to coordinate everything for the matchday. This usually happens one week before match day.
How will the host get in touch?
Once the booking is done, you will receive an order confirmation and the Homefans tech platform will notify the host about it. You can always chat with the host on the marketplace by clicking on the ‘ASK A QUESTION‘ button – you will send and receive messages you can check on your own dashboard with email notifications.
A few days prior to the game, the host will get in touch with you via Whatsapp to arrange the appropriate logistics.
How are the activities planned and executed?
The activities on the Homefans marketplace are designed and executed by fully-vetted locals that have been approved by Homefans.

How many people will be on the tour?
The maximum number of people the host will allow is stated above.
However, this number may not always be met and it may even be possible that your party is on the tour on your own. Usually the group is between 4 – 10 people for matchday experiences.

What does an activity include?
An activity on the Homefans marketplace involves a fully-vetted host, who offers a specific experience around a sporting event (match day experience with a ticket for the game) or some other cultural experiences (walking tours, stadium & museum tours with a local, among others).
They last between 2 hours up to a whole day. Please check the inclusions in each activity on the “What’s Included‘ section.
Can I bring bags to the stadium?
We recommend not to bring bags and valuables to the stadia in Argentina. Just the bare minimum to be more comfortable during your experience.
Also, please restrain from wearing the away team’s colours as it will make it almost impossible to access the ground.
I might need to cancel - what shall I do?
If you foresee that you cannot longer attend the activity you booked, you can do it within the next 24 hours after your booking was done.
According to our Terms & Conditions, after the 24 hour window, the host cancellation policy applies, and it depends on each host. Given that it involves tickets, it’s usually non-refundable.
If you have solid reasons on why you want to cancel, please get in touch with Homefans and we’ll do our best to ensure you get either credit or can book another experience of choice,
