6686 Sports News on November 5 According to Spanish newspaper Marca, 19-year-old San Giros United fan Alfred Roba rode 1,570 kilometers in 10 days to Madrid to cheer for the team's away game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
As a die-hard fan of United San Giros and a cycling enthusiast, Alfred Roba decided to combine his two loves and embark on an adventure that few people dare to imagine: cycling from Brussels to Madrid to watch the team's Champions League showdown with Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitan Stadium.
On October 28, Alfred set off from the Saint-Gilles district, the birthplace of the club, with a clear goal and a blue and yellow scarf around his neck. What lay before him was a 1,570-kilometer journey and 10 arduous days—fighting against wind and rain, and riding on a long and endless road. His journey spans half of Europe with one goal: to arrive on time to cheer for his team in this important European match.
When he arrived in Madrid, it was regarded as a real feat. The United Club of San Giros shared the relevant photos on social media with the caption "Cycling Hero".
Alfred Roba said that his goal is not only to complete a personal experience, but also to make fans pay attention to sustainable transportation, and at the same time encourage San Giros United fans to choose more cycling. "I want to show that supporting your team and respecting the environment can go hand in hand. The bicycle symbolizes freedom, calmness and closeness... It's another way to experience football."
