China News Service, November 14. According to the Qatar World Cup "Delivery and Inheritance" Organizing Committee, a writer, a teacher, a travel agent and a content creator from Argentina rode from South Africa to Qatar.
After completing this one-of-a-kind journey, the four of them will be in Qatar to watch this year's Qatar World Cup live.
The four Argentine fans set off from Cape Town, South Africa, and took 177 days to cycle through 15 countries before finally arriving in Doha, Qatar, with a total mileage of 10,000 kilometers.
They arrived less than ten days before the opening of the World Cup and were warmly welcomed by many Argentine fans ahead of the World Cup countdown clock in Doha.
The four of them came up with the idea of an epic long-distance ride after Argentina were confirmed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.
This is also another long-distance ride for them to watch a major sporting event live: as early as 2016, the four rode to the Rio Olympics, and then went to Russia to watch the World Cup in the same way.
Argentina are in Group C with Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland at the Qatar World Cup, and their first match will be against Saudi Arabia at the Lusail Stadium on November 22.
The Blue and Whites, who won the World Cup twice in 1978 and 1986, also hope to reach the top again in Qatar.
