Marriott Bonvoy and Visa have expanded "For Fans, Everywhere" with a new global spot starring Erling Haaland and VinĂcius JĂșnior.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign film was directed by Argentinian filmmaker Hernan Correra and produced by Anomaly Stagwell.
Shot at Marriott properties in Madrid and Manchester, the ad follows football fans through matchday rituals, travel routines, and hotel encounters.
The creative features representatives from more than 10 countries, real Marriott associates, and the two football stars.

The new spot positions Marriott properties as gathering points where traveling supporters meet, watch, and carry match-day traditions from home.
"For Fans, Everywhere" first launched earlier this year with travel perks, cardholder access, and the Sleepover Suite.
The latest film shows how those perks can play out inside Marriott properties.
Hotels Carry the Fan Experience
The spot brings football rituals into Marriott spaces.
Fans wear national colors, share routines, and react together as Haaland and Vini Jr. anchor the story.
The ad shows hotels as gathering points for supporters carrying team colors, customs, and rivalries across borders.
Sports tourism asks hotels to manage more than bookings. Supporters need places to gather, watch, celebrate, and recover between matches.
The new spot adds rituals and gatherings to a World Cup push already centered on travel perks, cardholder access, and the Sleepover Suite.
Host Cities Get Watch Parties and Live Shows
The expanded rollout also moves into host-city programming.
The Sleepover Suite sweepstakes gives eligible Marriott Bonvoy members who are Visa cardholders the chance to spend the night inside a luxury suite turned hotel room in New York New Jersey Stadium the night before the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final.
Marriott Bonvoy has also partnered with Men in Blazers, a football media network, on content, live experiences, matchday programming, and the "Match Day Live" series across host cities.

Select properties will host watch parties in Newport Beach, Floridaâs Stuart, Seattle, Mumbai, Toronto, and San Francisco.
Guests at Marriott properties in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico can watch FIFA World Cup matches on FOX Sports during their stays.
Marriott Bonvoy and Visaâs World Cup push offers three useful takeaways:
- Make hospitality visible. Service, staff, and shared spaces can carry the story, not only the destination.
The "For Fans, Everywhere" spot demonstrates this by featuring real Marriott associates alongside Haaland and Vini Jr., grounding the celebrity-led creative in genuine hospitality. - Show access in use. Sweepstakes and loyalty perks work harder when audiences can picture the experience.
The Sleepover Suite, detailed above, puts this into practice by giving eligible cardholders a chance to spend the night before the Final inside New York New Jersey Stadium. - Use properties as media. Hotels can host watch parties, live programming, and fan rituals while the tournament unfolds.
Marriott's watch party schedule across Newport Beach, Seattle, Toronto, Mumbai, and San Francisco, outlined above, does exactly that.
Our Take: Can Hotels Own the Fan Trip?
Marriott Bonvoy and Visa are making a smart bet on the least glamorous part of World Cup travel.
Most fans will spend far more time between matches than inside stadiums, and this is where this campaign has room to work.

For traveling supporters, a good hotel acts as more than just a room. It makes new cities navigable and familiar.Â
As for the Men in Blazers partnership, it gives those spaces a reason to feel alive, not just convenient.
A lobby screening, a live show, or a packed hotel bar can become part of the trip people remember, and that is the bigger opportunity for Marriott.
If Marriott properties become where fans gather between matches, it'll start being part of the trip itself.
