FIFA Club World Cup 2025: An In-Depth Report & Analysis
A New Era for Global Football: Our Report on the FIFA Club World Cup 2025
The summer of 2025 will be remembered as the moment global club football changed for ever. The FIFA Club World Cup, once a modest annual affair, was reborn in the United States as a sprawling 32-team tournament. It was ambitious, controversial, and, by the end, utterly compelling.
Quick Summary
This wasn't just another competition. It was a statement of intent from FIFA, a financial game-changer for many clubs, and a gruelling test of player welfare. From shocking upsets to off-field drama, here is our complete breakdown of a tournament that has redrawn the map of club football.
The Final That Defied All Odds: Chelsea 3-0 PSG
The tournament’s climax at a packed MetLife Stadium was a story no one saw coming. Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning European champions, arrived in the final having dismantled opponents, including a ruthless 4-0 win over Real Madrid. Chelsea, on the other hand, had stumbled, even suffering a 3-1 defeat to Flamengo in the group stage.
What unfolded was a tactical masterclass. Chelsea delivered a stunning 3-0 upset, with Cole Palmer the architect of the victory. He scored two clinical goals in eight first-half minutes before setting up João Pedro for the third just before the break. It was a performance of composure and lethal efficiency that left PSG, and the watching world, stunned. For a team that many had written off, it was a remarkable coronation.
Defining Moments & Shocking Upsets
Manchester City’s Early Exit
The biggest shock came in the Round of 16. Defending champions Manchester City were knocked out 4-3 by Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal in a dramatic extra-time thriller, proving European dominance was no longer guaranteed.
A Record-Breaking Rout
In a display of overwhelming power, Bayern Munich defeated Auckland City 10-0, the largest margin of victory in the tournament's history, sparking debate about the competitive balance of the new format.
South American Brilliance
Brazilian clubs made their mark. Botafogo’s 1-0 win over PSG was a highlight, while Flamengo’s victory over Chelsea almost ended the champions' campaign before it had truly begun.
Off-Field Drama: Weather, Welfare, and Attendance
The tournament wasn't without its significant challenges, raising important questions for future editions. Extreme weather caused lengthy delays, while the already fierce debate over fixture congestion and player welfare intensified significantly.
The Billion-Dollar Money Game
The tournament's staggering $1 billion prize pool has fundamentally altered the financial dynamics of club football. Chelsea's victory earned them approximately $114.6 million, but the real story was the impact on clubs from outside Europe. For clubs in South America, Africa, and Asia, the participation fees alone were transformative. This financial redistribution could help to level the playing field, allowing clubs to invest in talent and infrastructure to better compete on the global stage.
A Tournament Transformed: The Verdict
So, was the first-ever 32-team FIFA Club World Cup a success? Despite the logistical hurdles and legitimate concerns over player welfare, the answer is a resounding yes. It succeeded in creating a genuine global stage where clubs from different continents could test themselves against one another. The unpredictability, headlined by Chelsea's underdog victory, gave the tournament a competitive integrity that many had questioned beforehand.
The financial impact is undeniable and will reshape the ambitions of clubs far beyond Europe's traditional elite. As we look ahead to potential expansion and the next edition in 2029, it’s clear that a new pillar has been established in the global football calendar. It’s one that promises more drama, more opportunity, and a truly worldwide competition for the beautiful game.

How 2026 F1 Regulations Will Change Silverstone
The New Era: How 2026 F1 Regulations Will Redefine the British Grand Prix
An in-depth analysis of the revolutionary technical changes and their seismic impact on the iconic Silverstone circuit.
At Above + Beyond, our expertise is built on years of curating bespoke experiences at the pinnacle of motorsport. Drawing on deep connections within Formula 1, we provide our clients with an insider's perspective. In this analysis, we break down the pivotal 2026 regulations and what they mean for one of the calendar's most revered circuits.
Key Takeaways
Radical Power Units
A 50/50 power split and sustainable fuels will change energy management entirely.
Active Aerodynamics
Driver-controlled wings create a trade-off between cornering grip and straight-line speed.
Lighter & Nimbler Cars
A 32kg weight reduction promotes closer, more aggressive wheel-to-wheel racing.
Silverstone's Ultimate Test
The circuit's layout will push these new regulations to their absolute limit.
A Revolution in the Making
As we edge closer to 2026, Formula 1 is preparing for one of its most significant overhauls. These regulations are set to reshape the sport's technical landscape, pushing teams to adapt in ways that will redefine racing. Silverstone, with its demanding layout and rich history, stands as the ideal proving ground.
A New Heart: The Power Unit Revolution
The biggest shift is in the power units. The complex MGU-H is gone, simplifying the engine architecture. In its place, a 50/50 split between the internal combustion engine and electric power emerges—a huge jump from the current 20% electrical contribution.
A Lighter, Nimbler Breed of Car
Cars are getting smaller and significantly lighter. The wheelbase drops from 3600mm to 3400mm, and width narrows to 1900mm. With a minimum weight reduction of 32kg (down to 768kg), the goal is clear: create more agile machines that are more responsive in the heat of battle.
The Strategic Game-Changer: Active Aerodynamics
Perhaps the most fascinating addition is active aerodynamics. Drivers will now control moveable front and rear wings with two modes: a high-downforce 'Z-mode' for cornering stability and a low-drag 'X-mode' for blistering speed on the straights.
Z-Mode
Maximum downforce for cornering grip
X-Mode
Minimum drag for straight-line speed
Experience the New Era of F1
Witness history at the 2026 British Grand Prix. Our curated hospitality packages offer unparalleled access to the heart of the action.
Prime Trackside Views

Silverstone's New Challenge
With its fast, flowing layout, Silverstone demands ultimate aerodynamic efficiency and car balance. Here's how the new rules will play out on this iconic track.
What to Watch For at Silverstone
Higher Speeds at Copse
Lighter cars and active aero could turn this already fearsome corner into a genuine side-by-side battleground.
New Lines Through Maggotts & Becketts
Rapid aero adjustments may allow drivers to carry more speed and take different, more aggressive lines through this iconic sequence.
Tactical Overtakes into Stowe
The new 'Manual Override Mode'—a 350kW boost for overtaking—will make the run down the Hangar Straight a thrilling chess match.
Energy Management as a Weapon
Drivers must now balance using their electrical energy for outright lap speed versus saving it for crucial attack or defence.
At a Glance: 2025 vs. 2026
The scale of the technical changes is immense. This table highlights the most significant differences between the current and future generation of F1 cars.
| Specification | 2025 Regulations | 2026 Regulations | Key Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 3600mm | 3400mm | Increased Agility |
| Width | 2000mm | 1900mm | Closer Racing |
| Minimum Weight | 800kg | 768kg | Better Responsiveness |
| Electric Power | ~120kW (~20%) | 350kW (~50%) | Strategic Energy Use |
| Aero System | DRS (Overtaking Only) | Active Aero (Full Lap) | Dynamic Race Strategy |
A New Spectacle Awaits
For spectators, the promise is clear: closer, more unpredictable racing. The 2026 regulations could shuffle the competitive order, rewarding the teams who master the new formula first. The British Grand Prix won't just be another race; it will be the moment a new chapter of Formula 1 truly begins.
Witnessing this new era unfold at a circuit steeped in history is an opportunity for the ages. To discuss a bespoke hospitality experience for this landmark event, contact our specialists. We will ensure your time at Silverstone is nothing short of extraordinary.
FAQs: How Will the 2026 F1 Regulations Change Silverstone?
From 2026, Formula 1 cars will be smaller and lighter, use a 50/50 split between electric and combustion power, feature active aerodynamics, and run on 100% sustainable fuel.
Racing at Silverstone will see:
- More agile cars for faster cornering
- Active aero for better grip in corners and higher speed on straights
- Easier overtaking thanks to a new manual override power boost.
Active aerodynamics lets drivers adjust the front and rear wings while driving. Z-mode increases downforce for corners, while X-mode reduces drag for straights.
The Drag Reduction System (DRS) is replaced by a manual override mode. Drivers within one second of a car ahead can use extra electric power from the MGU-K to overtake.
Lap times may be similar or slightly slower due to less downforce, but overtaking and close racing are expected to improve.
Stronger roll hoops (from 16G to 20G), better side impact protection, and two-stage front impact structures for improved crash safety.
Fans will see:
- More overtaking and closer racing
- Sleeker, lighter cars with visible aerodynamic changes
- Greater unpredictability as teams adapt to new rules.

Quick Summary

Discover key trends, practical ideas, budget planning, and expert timelines to create memorable experiences that strengthen client relationships and motivate teams. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and leverage professional support for your next event in London and beyond.
1. A quick definition
Corporate entertainment is the art of using memorable performances, activities and hospitality to achieve a business outcome. Whether you are nurturing new relationships, thanking loyal clients or motivating employees, the right act in the right venue can transform an ordinary corporate event into a talking point that lasts all year.
2. Why businesses still invest in entertainment
- A well-planned corporate function creates a relaxed space for decision-makers to talk without PowerPoint or pressure.
- High-impact entertainment keeps the crowd engaged, raises energy after long conferences and cements your brand in the guest’s mind.
- Live experiences cut through digital fatigue and stand out in an AI-driven world.
In short, the value of face-to-face events has never been clearer.
3. Core trends shaping 2025/26
3.1 Immersive live music
From jazz trios on the Thames to headline rock bands in warehouse spaces, live music events give an instant lift. Many London venues now pair acoustic sets with tasting menus for a richer sensory experience.
3.2 Interactive roaming performances
Roaming bands, close-up magicians, stilt-walkers and even living statues move through the audience, sparking conversation without stealing the schedule.
3.3 Mindful team building
Hybrid work means team building exercises must carry genuine impact. Think charity cook-offs at Borough Market or mini-regattas on the Serpentine — fun, purposeful and set against classic London landmarks.
3.4 Data-driven guest journeys
Wearable lanyards track dwell time at each event stand, helping companies refine future programmes and prove ROI.
4. Practical corporate entertainment ideas
| Objective | Corporate entertainment ideas | Ideal venues |
|---|---|---|
| Strengthen client ties | Private FA Cup semi-final box, post-match Q&A with retired captain | Wembley or Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London |
| Celebrate a product launch | Digital light show synced to brand reveal, followed by DJ and dance floor | Outernet, Soho |
| Reward high-performing team | Michelin-hosted chef’s table, late-night jazz lounge | The Ned or KOKO, London |
| Break the ice at a corporate party | Interactive cocktail workshop with flair bartenders | Skyline rooftop, City of London |
| Boost morale in the office | Pop-up games arcade and street-food court | In-house atrium or hired studio |
5. Matching entertainment to budget
- Premium tier – headline artists, signature cocktails, yacht transfer on the Thames.
- Mid-range – high-quality roaming bands, creative lighting, gourmet canapés.
- Cost-conscious – talented UK university performers, shared suite access, clever photo booths.
Whatever the figure, there is always a perfect act that fits both spend and brief.
6. Building a timeline for success
| Month-out | Key tasks |
|---|---|
| 12–18 | Reserve sought-after dates (Monaco Grand Prix, Wimbledon), hold hotel rooms. |
| 9 | Confirm headline entertainers, contract AV service providers. |
| 6 | Finalise menu tasting; invite VIP guests. |
| 3 | Approve set-list and work closely with suppliers on run-sheet. |
| 1 | Brief hosts, rehearse acts, check contingency plans. |
| Event day | Welcome employees, clients and partners; capture feedback. |
| +48 hrs | Send thank-you message and highlights reel; schedule the next event. |
7. Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between a shared lounge and a private suite?
A lounge is cost-effective and sociable, whereas a suite offers privacy for sensitive deals.
Do we need a theme for every corporate party?
No, but a unifying concept — be it vintage cinema or cutting-edge esports — helps guests remember the night and share photos.
What is the meaning of corporate activities in this context?
They are structured sessions that sit alongside the main show, such as mixology classes or coding hackathons, and they play an important role in widening engagement.
8. Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
- Over-booking acts – too many performances will exhaust the schedule and the audiences.
- Ignoring the dance floor flow – site visits ensure the band, bar and DJ support, rather than compete with, each other.
- Skipping compliance checks – international companies must balance hospitality rules with cultural nuance, especially in regulated sectors.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 3: Date, Venue & Full Fight Details
Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Trilogy (Everything You Need to Know)
Quick Summary
The highly anticipated trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is scheduled for April 18, 2026, at London's Wembley Stadium. Following two defeats to Usyk, Fury is coming out of a brief retirement for a chance at redemption. This historic bout is set to be a defining moment for the heavyweight division.
The world of heavyweight boxing is set for another seismic event: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk III, scheduled for April 18, 2026, at Wembley Stadium, London. This trilogy bout promises to be one of the most anticipated fights in modern boxing history, bringing closure to a rivalry that has defined the heavyweight division in the 2020s. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Backstory: Fury vs. Usyk Rivalry
First Fight (May 18, 2024, Riyadh):
Usyk defeated Fury by split decision, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. The bout was tightly contested, with both fighters having strong moments, but Usyk’s late surge and a near-stoppage in the ninth round sealed the win.
Second Fight (December 21, 2024, Riyadh):
Usyk won again, this time by unanimous decision. Fury started strong but faded as Usyk’s relentless pressure and precision took over in the later rounds. After this defeat, Fury announced his retirement from boxing in January 2025.
Retirement and U-Turn
Despite declaring he was "done with boxing," Fury has a history of comeback announcements. In July 2025, he confirmed via Instagram and other channels that he would return for a third fight with Usyk, stating, “April 18 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!”
Why the Trilogy Matters
Redemption and Legacy:
Fury, once the undefeated “Gypsy King,” suffered his only two career losses to Usyk. A win in the trilogy could restore his legacy and prove he can adapt and overcome the Ukrainian’s style.
Usyk’s Dominance:
Usyk, already an Olympic gold medalist and former undisputed cruiserweight champion, has cemented his place in heavyweight history. A third win over Fury would make his claim as one of the greatest even stronger.
Venue Significance:
Wembley Stadium is iconic for British boxing. Fury has openly stated he wants the fight in the UK to ensure “a fair result,” expressing dissatisfaction with the judging in Saudi Arabia. The UK crowd and atmosphere could play a psychological role.

The Road to Wembley: What Could Change?
Usyk’s Next Fight:
Before the trilogy, Usyk is set to defend his titles against Daniel Dubois on July 19, 2025, at Wembley. If Usyk loses, the trilogy’s stakes could shift dramatically, possibly affecting which belts are on the line or even the fight’s viability.
Fury’s Motivation:
Fury has stated he would only come out of retirement for Usyk, wanting to “right a wrong” and get a “fair fight in England.” He claims he watched their second fight “250 times” and believes he won by five rounds, fueling his drive for redemption.
Anthony Joshua Factor:
While Fury vs. Joshua is still a dream fight for many, Fury has made it clear Usyk is his priority. Promoter Eddie Hearn has floated the idea of Joshua fighting Fury before retiring, but for now, all eyes are on the Usyk trilogy.
What the Experts and Promoters Say
Frank Warren (Fury’s Promoter):
There is a contractual clause for a trilogy fight, but the main obstacle could be retirement or a major upset in Usyk’s upcoming bout. Warren has confirmed that if both fighters are active and willing, the trilogy is locked in.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman:
Fury will be granted an immediate world title shot upon his return, underscoring his status as one of the division’s elite.

Fury’s announcement has generated massive excitement, with fans eager for closure to the rivalry. Many see this as a must-watch event, with the potential to break attendance and PPV records.
Boxing Community:
The trilogy is viewed as a defining moment for both fighters and for the heavyweight division. The outcome could influence the division’s landscape for years to come.
What’s at Stake?
For Fury: A chance to reclaim his reputation, avenge his only defeats, and potentially retire on top.
For Usyk: The opportunity to sweep the trilogy, further solidifying his legacy as an all-time great.
For Boxing: A historic event at Wembley, possibly the biggest heavyweight fight in the UK since the days of Lennox Lewis.
FAQs
Will all four major heavyweight titles be on the line?
This depends on Usyk’s result against Daniel Dubois in July 2025. If Usyk retains, all belts are likely at stake.
Where can I watch the fight?
Broadcast details are yet to be finalized, but expect a major global pay-per-view event, possibly involving DAZN or other streaming giants.

Final Thoughts
The Fury vs. Usyk trilogy is set to be a monumental chapter in boxing history. With national pride, legacy, and all-time greatness on the line, April 18, 2026, at Wembley Stadium is a date every boxing fan should mark on their calendar.
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Trilogy – Frequently Asked Questions
The third fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is scheduled for Saturday, 18th April 2026, at Wembley Stadium in London.
The trilogy bout will be held at Wembley Stadium, which has a capacity of 90,000 and is one of the most iconic venues in British sport.
Ring walks for the main event are expected to begin around 22:30 BST, though this may vary depending on the length of the undercard fights.
It is currently unclear which belts will be at stake. Oleksandr Usyk holds the WBA, WBC, WBO, and Ring heavyweight titles, but he must first defend them against Daniel Dubois in July 2025. The outcome of that fight will determine the titles available for the trilogy.
The fight will be broadcast live on DAZN PPV in the UK and internationally. Coverage is expected to start from 16:30 BST, with an additional PPV charge on top of the monthly subscription fee.
Usyk and Fury have fought twice before. Usyk won both encounters: the first by split decision in May 2024, and the second by unanimous decision in December 2024. Both bouts took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and were highly competitive.
Fury retired after his second defeat to Usyk in December 2024. However, he has stated he would only return for a third fight with Usyk, particularly if it could take place in the UK, where he believes he would get a fair result.
Details of the undercard have not yet been announced, but fans can expect a packed bill with several high-profile bouts, as is typical for events of this magnitude.
While the exact purses have not been confirmed, it is expected that Fury and Usyk will earn record-breaking sums, potentially surpassing the over £200 million they shared from their previous two fights.
If Usyk loses his titles to Dubois in July 2025, the trilogy fight with Fury could go ahead without world titles on the line, but it would still be a major event due to the rivalry and their previous history.
Fury has mentioned that if the Usyk trilogy does not materialise, a fight with Anthony Joshua would be the next biggest bout possible, especially for British boxing fans.
Tyson Fury has publicly announced the trilogy on social media, but as of now, there has been no official joint statement or press conference confirming the full details.

Frequently Asked Questions about Corporate Hospitality
A Foodie’s Grand Tour: The 10 Best Cities for Sport & Michelin-Starred Dining
A Foodie's Grand Tour: The 10 Best Cities for Sport & Michelin-Starred Dining
There is a common thread that unites the dedicated sports fan and the discerning foodie: a deep appreciation for craft, dedication, and those rare moments of brilliance. It’s the thrill of witnessing an athlete at the peak of their powers, and the quiet satisfaction of a dish executed with flawless precision. For those who seek both, certain cities around the world have mastered these two arts.
This isn’t just a list; it's a curated tour through destinations where the energy of the stadium is matched only by the artistry in the kitchen. At Above + Beyond, we believe the perfect journey combines passion with seamless execution. Here are ten cities that offer an unrivalled stage for both.
Tokyo, Japan
The Sporting Heart: The roar of the crowd at the iconic Tokyo Dome for a Giants baseball game, the unique ritual and power of a Grand Sumo Tournament, or the electric atmosphere of a J-League football match.
The Culinary Scene: As the city with the most Michelin stars on the planet, Tokyo is a culinary universe. The benchmark is set by legends like Sukiyabashi Jiro for sushi, the innovative Satoyama cuisine of Narisawa, and the kaiseki mastery of Ryugin.
The A+B Perspective: The beautiful contrast in Tokyo is between its explosive energy and its quiet perfection. A perfect day could involve the sensory overload of a sumo bout, followed by the hushed, almost reverent atmosphere of a world-class sushi counter, where a master chef performs for just a handful of guests. It’s a study in Japan’s cultural duality.
Paris, France
The Sporting Heart: The clay-court drama of the French Open at Roland-Garros, the partisan crowds at a Paris Saint-Germain match, and the triumphant final sprint of the Tour de France on the Champs-Élysées.
The Culinary Scene: Paris remains a global benchmark for gastronomy. From the haute cuisine of three-star institutions like Le Cinq and Guy Savoy to the timeless charm of the bistros in the Latin Quarter.
The A+B Perspective: In Paris, a five-set thriller at Roland-Garros can give way to a composed, five-course masterpiece just a few arrondissements away. We often arrange for clients to decompress after a day of tense tennis with a serene dinner cruise along the Seine, watching the city lights come up as they discuss the day's events.
London, UK
The Sporting Heart: London’s calendar is relentless: the prestige of Wimbledon, the tribal passion of Premier League football, the raw power of England rugby at Twickenham, and the historic London Marathon.
The Culinary Scene: The city is a vibrant mosaic of culinary talent, boasting 80 Michelin-starred restaurants. Highlights include the refined French cooking at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught and the city's only two-star pub, The Harwood Arms.
The A+B Perspective: London’s geography is part of the experience. A day spent amidst the greenery of Wimbledon can be followed by a short, chauffeured drive into the elegant streets of Mayfair for a world-class meal. It’s this effortless transition from one world-class environment to another that defines a perfect London trip.
Osaka, Japan
The Sporting Heart: Known as Japan's kitchen, Osaka is also wild about its sport, most notably the fanatical support for the Hanshin Tigers baseball team at the formidable Koshien Stadium.
The Culinary Scene: While it has 95 Michelin-starred restaurants, Osaka is equally famous for its vibrant street food culture of kuidaore ('eat until you drop'). Standouts include the creative French-Chinese fusion at VELROSIER and the precision of Ryō-shō.
The A+B Perspective: Osaka offers a less formal, more energetic alternative to Tokyo. The ideal itinerary here is about high-low dining: experiencing the electrifying noise of a baseball game before diving into the organised chaos of the Dōtonbori district for some of the best street food in the world.
New York City, USA
The Sporting Heart: The 'World's Most Famous Arena', Madison Square Garden, hosts NBA and NHL action, while the New York Yankees and the US Open in Queens provide legendary summer spectacles.
The Culinary Scene: A powerhouse of dining, NYC is home to institutions like the seafood-focused Le Bernardin, the exclusive Japanese counter at Masa, and the breathtaking views and cuisine of Per Se.
The A+B Perspective: New York is about iconic backdrops. We can arrange an itinerary that starts with courtside seats to watch the Knicks, followed by a reservation at a hard-to-book restaurant in the Meatpacking District, and finishing with a nightcap at a rooftop bar overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
Barcelona, Spain
The Sporting Heart: The architectural marvel of Camp Nou and the artistry of FC Barcelona, the high-octane thrill of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, and the city’s deep connection to sailing and water sports.
The Culinary Scene: A hub of Catalan creativity with 22 Michelin-starred restaurants. The city's gastronomic scene is led by the three-star temples of ABaC and Lasarte.
The A+B Perspective: The energy in Barcelona on a match day is infectious. A popular choice for our clients is to build a day around the game, starting with tapas and drinks in the Gothic Quarter before a private transfer to a VIP hospitality suite at Camp Nou.
Kyoto, Japan
The Sporting Heart: While it has a J-League football team, Kyoto’s sporting soul lies in its connection to tradition, particularly as a global centre for martial arts like Kendo and Aikido.
The Culinary Scene: Kyoto is the home of kaiseki, the formal, multi-course Japanese dinner. It is a city of quiet culinary legends, such as the 400-year-old Hyotei and the revered Kikunoi.
The A+B Perspective: A trip to Kyoto is a journey into Japanese tradition. A unique experience is to witness the discipline and focus of a martial arts demonstration in the morning before enjoying a meticulously prepared kaiseki dinner in a private room overlooking a tranquil garden in the evening.
San Francisco, USA
The Sporting Heart: The waterfront Oracle Park is home to the Giants baseball team, while across the bay, the Golden State Warriors are one of the NBA's premier dynasties.
The Culinary Scene: The Bay Area is the heart of California's farm-to-table movement, with 61 starred restaurants. Atelier Crenn, Benu, and Quince all hold three stars, showcasing the region's incredible produce.
The A+B Perspective: We often suggest clients combine the best of the region. This could mean a private tour and tasting in the nearby Napa Valley wine country during the day, followed by courtside seats to watch the Warriors in the evening.
Copenhagen, Denmark
The Sporting Heart: The city’s sporting life revolves around Parken Stadium, home to FC Copenhagen and the Danish national team, as well as the popular Copenhagen Marathon.
The Culinary Scene: Copenhagen has become a global pilgrimage site for food lovers, thanks to the revolutionary New Nordic cuisine pioneered by the three-star Noma and the theatrical, multi-sensory experience at the two-star Alchemist.
The A+B Perspective: A trip here is for the culinary adventurer. Securing a table at Noma or Alchemist is an event in itself. We build itineraries around that coveted reservation, adding experiences like a private sailing trip on the Øresund to complement the city's forward-thinking and stylish character.
Berlin, Germany
The Sporting Heart: The historic Olympiastadion hosts Bundesliga football with Hertha Berlin and major international athletics meets, while the Berlin Marathon is one of the six world majors.
The Culinary Scene: Reflecting the city's creative and avant-garde spirit, Berlin’s food scene is booming. It's home to over 20 starred restaurants, including the three-star Rutz and the innovative two-star dessert-only restaurant, CODA.
The A+B Perspective: Berlin is a city of contrasts. A powerful itinerary involves exploring the city's poignant history during the day, watching the modern spectacle of Bundesliga football in the evening, and then experiencing something truly unique, like the a la carte dessert tasting menu at CODA.
The world’s greatest cities offer a dialogue between human endeavour, whether it’s the roar of 80,000 people in a stadium or the quiet focus of a chef in their kitchen. The perfect trip combines these passions with seamless execution.
If any of these destinations have sparked an idea for your next journey, our specialists are on hand to begin crafting your personal grand tour.
