Journey abroad to watch the game (6)
I believe the answer is:
safari
'journey abroad' is the definition.
(journey to see wildlife)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
(Other definitions for safari that I've seen before include "Expedition to see animals" , "North African capital" , "A journey to see or hunt wild animals" , "Hunting journey" , "Overland journey to look for wild animals" .)
