England make the journey to Madrid to face Spain at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the final UEFA Nations League A Group 3 fixture on Sunday.
The Three Lions have already booked their place in the Nations League quarter-finals thanks to their narrow win over Croatia earlier in the week. However, they will now have the chance to finish top of the group as they face Spain in a winner-takes-all showdown for first place.
For England fans fortunate enough to be following their country to Madrid, they will be desperate to see their nation secure the victory and claim top spot, especially given the cost of making the journey to show their support for the Three Lions.
Read on as FootballGroundGuide breaks down just how much England fans can expect to spend on their journey to Madrid.
Spain vs. England away day cost breakdown
While travelling to Madrid from England may be relatively straightforward, it still comes at a significant cost, with the total price of the away day trip estimated at £661 for a two-night stay or around £480 for one night.
| Item | Cost |

| England match ticket | £36.00 |

| Checked luggage | £40.00 |
| Madrid hotel (2 nights) | £250.00 |
| Food & drink | £86.00 |
| Madrid airport & local transport | £22.00 |
| Travel insurance | £15.00 |

Ticket
A majority of England fans going to the match would have already secured their tickets to attend the game against Spain at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, and £36 has been factored into this budget for a category three ticket.
Travel
Flying from Gatwick to Madrid, and securing a return flight, will be the easiest way for supporters to make their way to the match, with an estimated cost of £152 to secure a return ticket.
Once in Madrid, an extra £22 has been added to the overall cost to account for inter-city travel, including getting back to the airport.
However, the cost to travel to and from Gatwick, both before the match and after returning home, has not been factored in, with supporters likely to travel from across the country to follow the Three Lions to Madrid.
Other travel costs, such as travel insurance and checked luggage for the flights, have also been added to the overall cost.
Accommodation
England's game against Spain gets underway at 20:45pm local time in Madrid, meaning supporters will have to stay in the city after the match.
It is also recommended for England supporters to travel to the city on Saturday, allowing them plenty of time to get to the location without the stress of delays making them miss the match, while this will also enable them to check out the city before the game gets underway.
For supporters who do opt to spend two nights in Madrid, a hotel room has been estimated at around £250. However, if it is decided to only spend Sunday night in accommodation, around £180 can be cut from the overall budget – including only one night at a hotel and a lower food/drink cost.
Food/Drink
Food and drink, as aforementioned, will depend on how long fans decide to spend in Madrid, with a higher budget needed for those that decide to stay in the city for longer than those who only spend one night before making their way home.
For those that decide to spend two nights in Madrid, £86 has been budgeted for Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning's food. Meanwhile, for those that spend only one night in the city, Saturday's removed food and drink budget, alongside only one night accommodation, means around £180 can be taken off the overall cost.
Other Expenses
Other expenses for the trip include souvenirs and other purchases, miscellaneous expenses and an emergency allowance, with this adding a potential £60 to the overall cost.
