Football fans planning to follow their team to the World Cup this year may want to consider spreading the cost of the trip using a Virgin Money credit card, the card supplier has suggested.

This offers fans 0% for 16 months on balance transfers with a 2.98% fee. This rises to 16.6% at the end of the 0% offer.

The advice from Virgin Money comes as the credit card provider revealed England fans will spend up to £319 million if the team goes all the way to the final on July 10th, according to its Football Fans' Inflation Index.

This amounts to an average of £6,399 per fan.

According to Virgin Money, if the team gets through all three Group C games, England fans are likely to fork out a total of £2,445 in flights, tickets, accommodation, food and a new replica shirt for the tournament.

All purchases made on a Virgin credit card between £50 and £1,000 are covered against accidental damage or theft for up to 100 days from the date of purchase.
