Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Four Argentine friends will cycle 10,500 kilometres from South Africa to Qatar to support their country at the World Cup in November, an initiative that will also lead to 10,500 new trees being planted in their homeland.<\/p>\n

Lucas Ledezma, Leandro Blanco Pighi, Silvio Gatti and Sebastian Rodriguez, from the province of Cordoba, will start cycling on May 15 from Cape Town to Doha, a journey that will cross 15 countries in two continents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general idea of the trip is to cover 10,500 kilometres passing through 15 countries for six months,\u201d Ledezma, a 34-year-old physical education teacher, told Reuters. \u201cThe idea is to arrive about four or five days before the opening match starts in Doha,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Argentina are scheduled to play their first match at this year\u2019s tournament on November 22 against Saudi Arabia at the Lusail stadium.<\/p>\n

Ledezma has previous experience in this type of crossing. As well as cycling to Brazil to attend the 2014 World Cup and also to Russia for the 2018 finals, he has travelled through various countries on two wheels to cheer on his compatriots at the 2018 Rio Olympics and the 2015 Copa America in Chile.<\/p>\n

For his 2022 adventure, he will be joined by a documentary maker, a writer and a travel agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is planning for months, sitting down to find out what is happening in each country, there is a deep investigation,\u201d said 31-year-old writer Pighi.<\/p>\n

\u201cTravelling by bicycle is something beautiful because we don\u2019t skip anywhere, we feel the journey, each little tree, each house, each family, kilometre by kilometre,\u201d he added, enthusiastically.<\/p>\n

Besides watching the matches, the trip aims to help the environment. Each kilometre travelled will be marked by the planting of a tree in the mountains of Cordoba, located about 600 kilometres northwest of the country\u2019s capital, Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
