Editorial standards
Editorial Policy
WC26 Trip Guide is built to help fans plan, compare, and verify. This policy explains how we separate official facts, planning estimates, and general guidance.
Official sources we prioritize
For tournament structure, host cities, and schedule references, we prioritize FIFA and official tournament information. For entry requirements, we link to government sources for the USA, Canada, and Mexico. For local travel planning, we prefer official airport, city, transit, stadium, and tourism sources where available.
What is official vs estimated
Official or source-linked data
Host city lists, tournament dates, government entry information links, and official source references should be checked against the original source.
Planning estimates
Budget presets, travel cost ranges, city logistics notes, and eSIM planning guidance are estimates or planning aids. They are not guarantees.
Visa and entry information
Visa Checker content is general travel planning information only. It is not legal or immigration advice. We use official government links so users can verify current rules for their passport, destination, route, and personal circumstances.
If a visa or travel authorization decision matters to your trip, confirm directly with the official government source or a qualified professional before booking.
Budget methodology
Budget estimates use city-level presets for hotels, food, local transport, match tickets, flights, eSIM, and insurance. These numbers are designed for comparison, not quotation. Real prices can change because of demand, exchange rates, booking timing, hotel location, match stage, and personal preferences.
Updates and corrections
We review and update pages as the site grows, especially when official schedule, host city, visa, or travel information changes.
If you find outdated or unclear information, send the page URL and correction details through the Contact page.
Important user responsibility
Fans are responsible for verifying tickets, match schedules, passports, visas, transport, accommodation, insurance, and local rules before travel. WC26 Trip Guide helps organize those checks, but it does not replace official sources.
