I’ve been looking forward to this World Cup for years. As an American, I won’t need a Saily eSIM to follow the games in my own backyard but I’ve been thinking a lot about the friends flying in from Brazil, from France, from Japan, from everywhere. For them, landing in New York or Los Angeles or Dallas with a dead foreign SIM and a roaming bill waiting to happen is a real problem and it’s one that tends to get sorted out at the airport in a hurry and at whatever price is on offer.
Saily is owned by Nord Security which is the company that also runs NordVPN and that matters for a reason that has nothing to do with eSIMs. A big chunk of international fans at this World Cup will want to watch matches that aren’t being broadcast in their home country, and a VPN that lets you change your apparent location is the standard fix for that: NordVPN subscriptions go up every time a major tournament rolls around.
ExpressVPN got the FIFA badge, Saily got the better deal for travellers

I’ll be watching from my couch, probably but for everyone making the trip, it’s a useful thing to know before you board.
