Marlon “Mar3lg” Lundgren Garcia has announced in a stream that he will be touring Europe before the 2026 FIFA World Cup starts, revealing when he’ll begin and which countries he’ll visit.

Marlon may have started his career with modeling, but his transition to content creation has been highly successful. The streamer accidentally leaked his Twitch earnings in 2025, and fans were surprised at the high figure. The number is likely higher still now due to his prolific content output — and now he has announced an international tour, where he will visit several European countries this summer.

Here’s what we know about Marlon’s Europe tour

Marlon announced that he will be visiting multiple European countries before the FIFA World Cup. The streamer gave a tentative start date of “next week,” which could mean from May 18. He specified that he wants to complete the tour before the World Cup starts on June 11, so the tour will likely last roughly three weeks.

Marlon also revealed some of the countries he will visit, including Germany, Greece, and Italy. He said he will visit four more, but won’t revisit other countries. The creator said he wants to go back to his home country, Sweden, for a 1v1 football tournament; he also stated his intentions of visiting Turkey.

Marlon is known for his football content, which explains why he wants to wrap the tour before the World Cup starts in North America. He will also likely stream during the tournament itself, but that hasn’t officially been confirmed. The streamer previously hosted a football tournament in Malmö, Sweden, and his return to the country is for another such event before the World Cup.

Why are more streamers focusing on international tours?

There is a general consensus that Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr., who recently wrapped up his Caribbean Tour, is the driving factor in the popularity of multi-country IRL tours. iShowSpeed has visited numerous countries, livestreaming fan interactions, and also sharing the unique cultures with fans. Indeed, Speed has also promised to tour during the World Cup. This is just one example of international tours becoming a staple in IRL streaming, with each creator adding their own unique style.

This is the reason why many viewers reacted to Marlon’s announcement by comparing it to iShowSpeed’s IRL streams. Most agreed that iShowSpeed’s productions are on the larger side, and that other streamers like Marlon won’t be able to match them in terms of scope or budget. The creator’s fans, however, are optimistic about this upcoming stream, especially because of his excitement about returning to Sweden and traveling to Turkey.

It remains to be seen how successful Marlon’s tour becomes, but it’s apparent that more streamers will try their luck at international tours and interact with fans in multiple countries.
