What's the furthest you have travelled for a sporting event

I was going to say football but it could just as easily apply to any sporting event.

In the 90s my brother and I travelled up to Middlesbrough for a football match only to find the match had been cancelled before we got there meaning we had to turn around and come home again. We went back up the following week and the match was played.

I once travelled from England to Melbourne Australia for an Olympics. Does that count?😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I don't see why not. I once watched a youth football match in San Francisco but I just happened to be there.

@Jacko1971 OK. Then I can add leaving Australia and watching some Americas Cup races in San Francisco Bay😷
