Kickoff Tales: Around the World

BSC Young Boys - Switzerland - E09

✈️🇨🇭 This time the journey took me straight into the frozen heart of Switzerland — Bern, home of BSC Young Boys. 🚲 From riding a half-broken bike through the icy streets, to warming up with beers before kickoff, and then stepping into a stadium that once hosted the famous Miracle of Bern — this trip had everything. 🔥 Inside, the atmosphere was wild: home fans with stunning choreography, away ultras lighting flares dangerously close, and chants that made it feel more like a Bundesliga clash than a Swiss league game. Out on the pitch, it was a freezing battle with chances, drama, and… well, no goals in the end. But trust me, the experience was unforgettable. So grab your hot wine, layer up, and let me take you to a night where history, passion, and the biting cold all collided in the Swiss capital. This is Kickoff Tales: Around the World! 🌍⚽️

Djurgårdens IF - Sweden - E08

This time we’re heading waaay up north ❄️🇸🇪 — to Sweden! September 2022 — fresh off my rainy adventure in Episode 5, I made a lightning stop in Stockholm. Less than 24 hours ⏳ Two goals: 🍽️ Try the legendary Swedish meatballs 🎟️ Catch a Djurgården match What I got? 🔥 WAY more than expected. From a quiet city morning to electric stadium vibes, this was the first time I truly felt that thrill of chasing football abroad ✈️⚽ — and it was magic. So grab your meatballs, maybe a beer that costs half your salary 🍺💸, and let’s head to Tele2 Arena 🏟️💙 for an unforgettable day with Djurgården!

West Bromwich Albion FC - England - E07

In this special episode, I take you back to my first-ever football trip to England — and I didn’t go alone. My dad, my brother, and I landed in Birmingham for a classic boys’ getaway filled with pub crawls🍻, Championship football⚽️, dodgy weather🌧️, and even dodgier bets (that actually paid off!)💷. We watched West Bromwich Albion take on Hull City at the legendary Hawthorns — cold pints, pouring rain, a historic stadium, and goals that shook the stands. But this story is more than just a match… it’s family, football, and the magic of soaking up the English game where it all began. Press play ▶️ and come along for the ride.

Jeonbuk Motors - South Korea - E06

In this episode, I travel to Jeonju for a K League showdown between Jeonbuk Motors and Jeju United — and nothing goes as planned. Lost in translation, broke, hungover, and hauling a suitcase in 30°C heat, I somehow make it to the stadium… without a ticket. What followed? A 35,000-seat World Cup stadium, fans in full voice, players introduced like video game characters, and the weirdest halftime show ever: opera. On the pitch. This is what football travel is about. Culture shock, awkward moments, suprise goals, and pure joy. Join me as I relive one of the most bizarre matchdays I’ve ever had. This is Kickoff Tales. 🎧 Pics and vids on Instagram: @kick.offtales_aroundtheworld

Nõmme Kalju - Estonia - E05

Of all the places I’ve seen a football match, this one takes the frozen, rain-soaked cake. Nõmme Kalju, drums in the distance, players warming up three meters away, and me questioning all my life choices — but somehow loving every second of it. No bar, no tea, just vibes and wet socks. ☔️🥶 But you know what? That’s what makes it perfect. Next stop? We’re off to South Korea — where I swapped cold rain for soju and Seoul night outs. Absolute gold. See you there🔥
