Traveling to “Sporting” in Lisbon, “Arsenal” in London, “Inter” in Milan, and “Copenhagen” (+ the return trip), the Kazakh club is racking up kilometers equivalent to a complete circumnavigation of the globe (the circumference of the Earth is 40 thousand km).

Their great journey began with the furthest away match of 6923 kilometers across 5 time zones in Lisbon, where they debuted in the Champions League yesterday against “Sporting”. This is a record match in Champions League history for distance between opponents!

Additionally, the Almaty region borders China, and the guests visiting “Kairat” will include Madrid’s “Real,” “Brugge,” “Olympiacos,” and “Paphos.”
