There has never been a World Cup quite like this one: more teams, more cities, higher prices and sky-high expectations.

As fans arrive in the 16 host venues across Canada, Mexico and the United States, we would like to hear from anyone heading to the 11 U.S. cities to attend a match or partake in the festivities. If you’re coming from abroad, did you have any trouble getting a visa or entry authorization? How did you get tickets, find lodging, and make arrangements to get to and from the stadium?

Your responses will help us report on how travelers are experiencing one of world’s most anticipated events.

We will read every response and reach out to you if we’re interested in learning more about your story. We won’t publish any part of your response without following up with you first, verifying your information and hearing back from you. And we won’t share your contact information outside the Times newsroom or use it for any reason other than to get in touch with you.
