A few hours after the Argentinians were crowned in the final of the 2022 Football World Cup against France, the South American delegation is on the plane to return to Buenos Aires. She travels aboard an Airbus A330, in the colors sky and white. A flight followed by thousands of fans.
This Monday, December 19 morning, the awakening is difficult for millions of French people, sounded by the epilogue of this 2022 World Cup final, won on penalties by Argentina. It is quite the opposite on the other side of the Atlantic: this victory is a consecration for the supporters, 36 years after the last coronation. They celebrated their players all night long (the time difference is four hours less than in France).
And this celebration is not about to stop: the delegation left Qatar this morning, heading for Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital. The journey is long: nearly 7 p.m., with a planned stopover in Rome at midday.
Staff, players and family took their seats in an Airbus A330, decorated in the sky and white colors of the South American country. This device had been presented a few weeks ago by the company Aerolíneas Argentinas, at the airport of Buenos Aires.
The faces of the stars of the teams, such as those of Lionel Messi or Angel di Maria, are notably printed on the device. The slogan “a team, a country, a dream“(one team, one country, one dream) is also inscribed. This model was even duplicated during the competitionin order to take thousands of supporters to follow the victorious journey of the national team.
Tens of thousands of supporters await their heroes in Buenos Aires. But they are already thousands to follow the journey of the delegation: on the flightradar24 site, the Airbus A330-200 has been the most followed aircraft since the night of December 18 to 19, 2022.
At 10:30 a.m. (6:30 a.m. Buenos Aires time), more than 4,000 people watched the flight live. A crazy figure, like this Argentinian fervor.
