After the title of Libertadores, Fluminense fans will have to start organizing their trip to watch the team in the Club World Cup. The competition organized by FIFA will be held in Saudi Arabia, between December 12th and 22nd. The information below does not take into account food and transportation costs already on site.
Ticket
The city of Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, will host the first game of the Fluminense in the competition. And anyone who wants to be present will have to spend a lot of money on air tickets. Currently, the cheapest round trip price is R$ 9,987 and the most expensive is around R$60 thousand. There are several other flight options that are between the two prices.
Hotel
According to the Skyscanner website, the cheapest hotels cost around R$ 150 the daily. If the fan wants to stay for the entire duration of the World Cup, the fan will spend something close to R$1,500 just on the hotel.
There is also the option of staying closer to the stadium, which increases the value even further. Daily rates can increase to something around R$500which would total R$5,000 for accommodation alone.
Tickets
Tickets are the least of the problems. For the semi-final, which will be at the King Abdullah International Stadium, the price for category 3 is 60 Saudi Riyal (about R$79at the current rate), for category 2 it is 125 Riyal (R$ 164) and category 1 costs 175 Riyal (around R$ 230).
For the final, in the same stadium as the semi-final, entry prices are higher than in the previous phase. The price for category 3 is 75 Saudi Riyal (about R$ 100at the current rate), for category 2 it is 150 Riyal (R$ 195) and category 1 costs 200 Riyal (around R$ 260).
Fernando Diniz’s team could face one of the following teams in the semi-final: Al-Ittihad (SAU), Auckland City (NZE) or Al-Ahly (EGI). On the other hand, León (MEX) and Urawa Reds Diamonds (JAP) face each other in the quarter-finals to try to play against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
