four Welsh football fans: A gang of four Wales fans has begun driving to the World Cup in Qatar in an electric car in order to arrive on time.
Former Cardiff City player Scott Young will be accompanied by Nick Smith, Huw Talfryn Walters, and Walter Pennell on the 5,000-mile adventure, which will take them through 19 countries before arriving in Qatar by an electric automobile.
They took off on Friday, October 28, with the goal of arriving in Qatar in time for Wales’ first group game against the United States on November 21.
Wales players such as Gareth Bale have shown their support for the group, but Smith said that the winger is sceptical that they will make it.
In a report made by BBC Sport, Smith said: “We know most people think this is a mad plan – we’ve even had Gareth Bale himself sat in the car looking a bit doubtful about whether we can actually achieve this”.
“But we’re confident in the car and we’re up for the challenge. We’re driven by both a love for football and a passion for the positive change electric cars can bring for people and the planet”.
“There will be bumps in the road for sure but we’ve got loads of support behind us and we can’t wait to get to Qatar and join the other fans and support Wales in their first World Cup in 64 years”.
