Soccer super fans have an opportunity to get in on the action with a local $1 million experience for the World Cup, which will be hosted throughout North America this summer. 

Coinciding with the eight matches scheduled to be played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, The Boca Raton has introduced the World Cup Legends Experience, a five-day, four-night stay for four guests.  

The experience—in partnership with entertainment concierge firm ImmersiveX—includes access to private training sessions, time on the field with players, a helicopter ride to the stadium, a private yacht cruise, omakase tasting, an evening at Spa Palmera, and a private fireworks display. 

The World Cup will be hosted June 11 to July 16 at stadiums throughout the United States (including Miami), Mexico and Canada. 

“The World Cup brings a global audience to our doorstep. This program gives our guests a way to be part of that moment with the kind of access and attention that reflects a hundred years of doing this,” The Boca Raton President and CEO Daniel Hostettler said in a press statement. 

The itinerary begins with guests checking into the Ocean View Penthouse Suite at Tower; the stay includes an assigned personal butler and dining by Executive Sous Chef Mirella Flores. For day two, the quartet will hang with players during practice and receive a custom jersey signed by the guest’s preferred team. Then, a private styling appointment at Balmain in the Bal Harbour Shops, the perfect fashion prep for the tasting dinner back at The Boca Raton’s Top of Tower (where a personalized engraved decanter is waiting).

Day three is all about the game, with a helicopter escorting guests from the Boca Raton Airport to Hard Rock Stadium. Here, hang out on the pitch during warmups before being seated in the front row in the midfield for the game, with VIP service.

For the final day, enjoy a private cruise on the 42-foot Wesmac yacht Relentless, lunch at Japanese Bocce Club, and then an evening at Spa Palmera. Hostettler will perform a champagne saber before guests enjoy a Gilded Waters Ritual Bath followed by a “Victory Treatment,” or the guest’s choice of a Gold Repair Body Treatment by Knesko or The Red Carpet Facial by Natura Bissé. Finaly, a three-course dinner at the Spa Courtyard and dessert at the Spa Pool with a private fireworks display. 

If your reaction to this is, “Yes, count me in!”, the World Cup Legends Experience has three booking windows to align with the Brazil v. Scotland match on June 24, the quarterfinal match on July 11, or the bronze final match on July 18. 

If not, there will be some action in the Palm Beaches. Heavy hitters team Portugal will be training in Palm Beach Gardens and staying on Palm Beach. And in Boca Raton, Curaçao will be both training and resting their heads.
