After cycling more than 10,000 miles from Gualeguaychú, Argentina, near the Uruguayan border, three Argentinian soccer fans finally arrived in Kansas City.
Vicente Conculini, Yamandu Martínez, and Miguel Silio have been journeying since August 16, 2025, on their way to the World Cup. The Argentinian national team chose the home of MLS’s Sporting Kansas City as its base camp training facility and will play one group stage match at the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium, making Kansas City the de facto home of the reigning tournament champions in 2026.
Along the way, the men enjoyed Colombian landscapes, Costa Rican beaches, and Dallas barbecue. Their Instagram account now has 30,000 followers.
But they didn’t score tickets to the World Cup.
“Now the tickets are so high, the price is so expensive, we need to wait a little, maybe the sellers put the price more low,” Conculini tells Front Office Sports.
