45 thousand kilometers! This is how much Almaty’s “Kairat” will cover in the main stage of the Champions League, reports the Telegram channel “Bombardir”.
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.”
