Barrhead Travel Secures FIFA World Cup 2026 Partnership with Scottish FA

Major Partnership Announcement for Scotland Fans

The Scottish FA has announced a crucial partnership, naming Barrhead Travel as its official Fan Travel Partner and the recommended travel provider for the Scotland Supporters Club as the nation prepares for the FIFA World Cup 2026. This significant development comes at a pivotal moment for Scottish football supporters, who are eagerly planning their journey to North America for the tournament.

Comprehensive Travel Solutions for the Tartan Army

Scotland’s draw into Group C alongside five-time world champions Brazil, 2022 semi-finalists Morocco, and Haiti has generated a cocktail of excitement and logistical challenges. Barrhead Travel, a renowned name in Scottish travel, is stepping up to guide supporters through the complexities of a multi-city, multi-country tournament.

The Glasgow-based agency is offering a range of flexible options, including ticket-inclusive packages, travel-only arrangements, and bespoke ‘Follow My Team’ packages for the entire group stage. A critical point for fans committing large sums of money is that all packages sold are fully financially protected, providing security against unforeseen circumstances. A specific telephone number has been launched to connect fans directly with World Cup travel specialists.

Record-Breaking Performance and Growth

This partnership announcement comes as Barrhead Travel continues its impressive trajectory. The agency’s overall cruise business increased by 12 per cent on the record-breaking volumes it posted in 2024, while 2026 is shaping up to be another productive year with sales currently up 16% compared to the same time last year.

Barrhead Travel’s Falkirk branch was named agency of the year at the Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association Annual Awards 2025, highlighting the company’s excellence in customer service. The agency is also preparing for a brand refresh launching in December 2025, positioning itself for continued expansion across the UK market.

Significance for Scottish Football Supporters

For Scotland’s devoted Tartan Army, this partnership offers peace of mind when planning what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip. With matches potentially spanning California, New York, and Toronto, having a trusted travel partner with financial protection and specialist knowledge provides essential reassurance as fans prepare to follow their team across North America.
