Craig Ferguson, a supporter of the Scottish national team, walked from his home in Glasgow to Munich to watch his team play in the Euro 2024 tournament. The journey lasted 42 days.
20-year-old Craig Ferguson walked through 6 countries. First, to get to the match of his country's national football team, Scotland. Secondly, to attract the attention of the media and people in general and to raise funds for the Brothers in Arms charity organization (deals with men's mental health issues and is based in Glasgow). Craig left Glasgow in May and arrived in Germany in time for his team's first match.
Ferguson was warmly welcomed by his fellow countrymen who had also gathered in Munich to watch the soccer game. They greeted him with a standing ovation and treated him to champagne. The man raised more than £51,000 for charity during his trip. In our money, this is 2.6 million hryvnias.
As a reminder, in the first match, the Scots lost to the hosts of the tournament, the German national team, 1:5. However, there are two more matches in the group, so the Scots are still in a good mood.
