October 2025 — As the U.S.A. prepares to host the most highly anticipated global soccer tournament in 2026, Crewfare is making fan travel easier than ever with a dedicated hotel booking platform that streamlines travel, unlocks exclusive rates, and gives back to the communities welcoming the world.

Through the platform, attendees can access a curated selection of hotels located near fan events, stadiums, and key venues, all at the best available advance rates. Crewfare is working with select host cities to provide trusted hotel options for fans that also give back to the community.

In a unique effort to connect travel with impact, every room night booked through Crewfare supports a local initiative selected by each host city – ranging from youth programs and education to housing, environmental projects, and community development.

Beyond simplifying hotel bookings, Crewfare is helping fans experience the full depth of each city’s moment on the world stage. Starting in Los Angeles with the opening of the U.S.A. leg, the journey moves north to the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle, then heads east to Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami. Fans can move seamlessly from city to city, knowing Crewfare has done the work to secure the best places so they can sit back and enjoy the match-day
