Which World Cup Countries Have You Visited As A Tourist?

[Satchmo Distel]

Me: Croatia, Belgium, Mexico

[Snake Plissken]

France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland.

By tournaments end I will have added Sweden and Russia.

[blameless]

France, Germany, Spain, Morocco.

Otherwise-perpetual qualifiers Italy, Holland, USA and Czech Republic halved my list by not being at Russia 2018. Inconsiderate sods.

[Ray de Galles]

Egypt
Portugal
Spain
France
Australia
Denmark
Sweden
Belgium
Tunisia
England
Poland

A few of them just for football/speedway trips as opposed to out & out tourism, if we count that.

[Satchmo Distel]

Let's add past participants as a separate category: Italy (Venice), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Trinidad & Tobago (everywhere), Cuba, USA, Honduras, Haiti, Greece, Turkey, Slovenia

[blameless]

Oh well, if we're going for all former world cup finals participants you can add Hungary and Austria to my list too; I didn't mention them above as neither has been near the tournament for decades.

Germany (1978)
Russia (1979)
Switzerland (1983)
Belgium (1984)

Poland

[ursus arctos]

Have we ever reached a definitive consensus as to how we treat entities like the former Yugoslavia in this regard?

Does one have to have visited Serbia since independence, for instance, or is having spent a week in Beograd before that point sufficient?

[N est à?]

Can I have Peru if I've been on a boat on lake titicaca quite close to the Bolivia-Peru border?

[Duncan Gardner]

The latter of Ursus's options I think. I visited Yugoslavia in the 80s, but only present day Slovenia. And only Russia within the Soviet Union

[Gangster Octopus]

Australia
Belgium
Denmark
France
Portugal
Spain

And Dubrovnik when it was in Yugoslavia...

[ursus arctos]

On Dunc's basis, all of the UEFA participants, Japan and Mexico.

I've also worked in most all of those (not Iceland, Serbia, Croatia or Denmark).

And lived in Belgium, England, France and Germany.
