The Argentinian passion that attracts the world
Argentina is recognized for its love of football, a feeling that transcends borders and attracts tourists from all over the world. Beyond the famous Boca and River clubs, visitors seek to discover the local passion for the sport. In this case, the local team Banfield achieved a 2-0 victory against Riestra and gained 40 new supporters.
Argentine football: an export product
The Obelisk, the landscapes, the alfajores, the roast, the dulce de leche and of course, football. All these elements make Argentina famous throughout the world. Football could certainly be at the top of the list: the thrill of watching a live match attracts thousands of fans from around the world, which has led to guided experiences becoming increasingly common at clubs.
Luis, one of the organizers of this experience and owner of the restaurant “La Popular” in Banfield, shared his experience: “After Argentina became champions in Qatar, tourism is looking for these types of experiences and travel agencies trips started contacting me.”
A complete experience: gastronomy and football
Before going to the stadium, the tourists tasted Argentinian cuisine at Luis' restaurant. Tasting typical dishes such as bife de chorizo, empanadas and dulce de leche flan, visitors were enchanted by Argentinian cuisine.
After the gastronomic experience, it was time to discover football. The newcomers from Toronto, dressed in Banfield jerseys, were able to experience the excitement of an Argentinian football match, an experience they described as “impressive”.
