The journey was not without danger or discomfort:
Those episodes underline the scale of the commitment behind their attempt to watch Argentina in person.
Access to matches had appeared uncertain after the cyclists were unable to obtain tickets through ’s official ticketing site, with demand intensified by Lionel Messi’s presence in Argentina’s squad.
The report says their fortunes changed after they attended the Kansas City Unity Cup, an adult football tournament in Olathe, where organisers recognised their journey. The group has since secured tickets for Argentina’s opening match against Algeria on 16 June.
That game will provide the reward for thousands of miles on the road, while also giving the supporters their first chance to see the champions begin their defence.
The cyclists are reportedly hoping to attend Argentina’s matches in Dallas on 22 and 27 June, with the final scheduled for MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Whether they can secure entry to those games remains uncertain, but their route has already become one of the tournament’s defining supporter stories.
For Conculini, Silio and Martinez, the next milestone is simple: reach the stadium, raise the Argentina colours and watch the team take the first step toward another title.
