Everything went to plan. We were delighted to have drawn a trip to Dusseldorf to see Borussia Monchengladbach v Freiburg. The seats in the stadium were excellent and the atmosphere was the same. We did not really have to do any planning as everything was detailed for us by the SMD team including travel details from our hotel to the stadium. Dusseldorf is probably not one of Germany's great tourist citys but it is a very friendly city, virtually everyone speaks perfect English and with a very vibrant old town and riverside, its a great location for a football trip. Thanks to the SMD for a brilliant weekend. We will definitely be having another trip next season.

First time using Secret Match Day, 6 dads n lads all going away together and it was absolutely brilliant. We got Monchengladbach v Freiburg in Düsseldorf, and what an experience it was! Hotel was better than expected, near to the train station so easy to get around, good flights too. Can't wait for the next one!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent experience, great support. Highly recommended …
Excellent help and support throughout as had a few last minute unplanned name changes etc. Great 4 star hotel.

Fabulous weekend away in Krakow watching Cracovia vs Slask Wroclaw… hotel and location was perfect!

Along with a mate I have just returned from a Secret Match Day Obscurer weekend in Pescara Italy. We had a fantastic time. The Serie C football was great and the home fans were loud & passionate about their team. Pescara also offered a couple of museums & a stunning sandy beach along with lovely restaurants & craft beer bars who specialised in Italian beers. I would not hesitate to book another weekend with this company.

Amazing weekend celebrating my 50th birthday with 17 friends. Poznan was fantastic, food and beers great value and a vibrant nightlife. Accommodation, although a little out of town, was better than we expected and ideal for a large group in twin and triple rooms. The match itself was a fantastic experience, we were in the home end with fireworks and flares all around, very loud and just what we were after atmosphere wise. Flights were well scheduled to allow time to explore the day before and after the match. Well organised Secret Match Day. We will be booking again soon 👍

Just back from just under three days in Marseille. Had a fantastic time, everything was organised fantastically. SMD communications were super helpful too when I lost my booking info. Already looking at booking again.

A good experience with SMD! We just got back from Milan and had a wonderful time at San Siro. The only thing I would say is that the original flights we were booked onto really did not maximise the time we could spend in the city (a very late outbound flight on Saturday evening) and so I had to pay extra to change them. It did all end up being pretty expensive but hey ho. It wouldn’t put me off booking again, perhaps for a ‘sillier’, cheaper non-Top 4 weekend, as the general product is great and well produced.

First time Secret Matchday booking and this will take some beating. Absolutely unreal experience taking our godson away for his 21st birthday. First time to Poland too and while we had some reservations about Ryanair and Stansted the travel was all top-notch, no delays and quickly through. Poznan was beautiful, cheap and appealing - we opted to get our own accommodation which was one street away from the main square.

The whole process with SMD was perfect though and the documentation and info provided was spot-on. I was worried the match tickets might not be in the best area of the ground but how wrong could I be?! We were bang smack in the middle of the home end, second tier behind the goal. Some ultras even came down each row with tins collecting for their tifo funds! Got given massive flags to wave and the pyros got lit up around us as the team came out.

Poznan won 2-0, a solid performance, however we were surprised by the lacklustre celebrations when they scored - no limbs!

£3-4 pints around Poznan and a lively nightlife scene topped this perfect trip off and one we wouldn’t have made if it wasn’t for Secret Matchday, thank you!

We had a lovely weekend away to Lille to see Lille vs Lens. Unfortunately, we had some trouble with our return travel due to strikes in Belgium. However, Secret match day were very helpful with finding alternative routes and responded very quickly whenever we had any questions. Thank you!!

Thank you Secret Match Day 💪 we had a amazing experience in Germany 🇩🇪

The destination guide really helped before & during our visit to Dusseldorf.

When we had an issue with our flight tickets you responded & resolved it quickly.

Will definitely use SMD again soon!

What an experience, great communication throughout and planning provided was over anything we expected, would highly recommend, and we will be going on many more based of our first experience.

SMD delivered on everything - we opted for a Big 4 package ex Dublin and ended up in Turin for Torino and Milan. Early & late flight times meant we had three days to spend in this great city. All the detail landed exactly as expected - will be delighted to use SMD again and recommend to friends. Well done folks, this is a great product.

So, my second booking with Secret Match Day and yet again they came up with the goods...this time in sunny Budapest.

Was there a great deal of thought given to our destination? - YES
Was the information sent useful, relevant and timely? - YES
Was the hotel up to scratch and sensibly located? - YES
Was the level of customer service excellent and prompt? - YES
Were Secret Matchday responsible for me choosing a dodgy backstreet Thai restaurant which gave me food poisoning? - NO (but I bet they would have helped mop my fevered brow had I asked)

Another great weekend, these guys know what they are doing and I will be booking again once I convince my wife that alcohol had no part to play in my illness whatsoever!

Had our second SMD trip. This time to Budapest - well organised and SMD offered us an extra night due to unfavourable flight times at no extra cost. Cannot recommend enough SMD. Great service, excellent choice of city, and atmosphere at the match was superb.

Cannot speak highly enough about the level of customer service provided by Secret Matchday. Due to awkward flight times we were offered an extra nights stay in Budapest at no extra cost. Obviously we took advantage of the offer and had a great time enjoying the city before making our way to the home of Újpest. The locals seemed delighted if slightly baffled as to why were there to see the Violets but we were made to feel welcome. One of the great things about this experince is watching how other fans behave when supporting their team and the Újpest ultras were fantastic for the whole game. We are already planning dates for our next secret matchday.

Our second trip with SMD to Budapest was just as great as out first. Our match was Ujpest v Puskas Academy. Bit of a drab 1-1 draw, but great atmosphere due to the fanatical Ultras who never stopped chanting. Budapest is a fantastic City and the weekend was perfect for us as a combo of football and great city. Also very impressed that they offered us an extra night at no extra cost. And also great customer service when we had a minor issue checking in for our flight home. We will be back! Thanks SMD.

We opted for The Obscurer package as we were excited by some of the unusual destinations/stadiums that others had posted about and the description of this experience as being for “football fans with a thirst for adventure … craving truly offbeat experiences.”
We were therefore somewhat disappointed when it was revealed that our secret matchday was in Dublin - a city we’d already visited a few times before - and that the match in question was being played at the national stadium rather than an obscure, quirky ground.
We still had a great time though and couldn’t fault the organisation of the trip. Our hotel was in an excellent location for the stadium and located near good transport links into the city. The seats in the stadium gave us a good view but were located in a neutral zone. Potentially a more exciting matchday experience could have been had if we had been in amongst the Bohemians fans.
We would give it another go though as we’d always look forward to the opportunity of watching a match and exploring a new location 👍

Highly recommend- will definitely plan another weekend! Great communication and organisation- destination guide very helpful in advance- the match itself was brilliant, tickets could not have been in a better spot!

Had a great trip to Monchengladbach in February with SMD and the top 4 leagues option. One adult and 2 kids aged 10 and 13, flights in and out of Dusseldorf, we booked our own accommodation a week in advance of the trip. Destination Guide provided great information on how to get to and from the match. Everything taken care of and always quick to respond to any queries I had in the build up to the trip. Would 100% use again as its a great way to see matches around Europe.
