According to the team leader, crossing into Côte d’Ivoire was smoother than expected due to the group still possessing their laissez-passer documents from a previous road adventure from Accra to London.

Their latest mission, which is tied to the upcoming World Cup, has already generated significant buzz on social media, with many following their progress closely and celebrating their adventurous spirit.

The group says they remain focused on the long road ahead as they push through multiple countries en route to Europe and ultimately London, where they hope to join global fans for the tournament.
