Public voting has concluded, leading to the selection of nearly 200 lucky university student teams from 60 countries around the globe for Red Bull Can You Make It? 2020, with two SA teams being part of the selection.
During the seven-day travel adventure across Europe, participants will rely solely on street smarts, charm, and negotiating skills to arrange transportation, lodging, and meals using cans of Red Bull as their only form of currency. The strongest teams from around the world were chosen from more than 4000 applications. After a carefully scanned and verified voting process, a panel of judges picked the final teams for each country.
The competition was intense this year, with application creativity at an all-time high. Among the chosen teams, SA applicants from Nelson Mandela University and the University of Witwatersrand who were selected as two of the 200 lucky finalists.

On 29 September 2020, teams will start their journey at one of the five starting points in Europe: Barcelona, Budapest, Amsterdam, Milan, and Copenhagen. During their week-long adventure, teams must stop at a minimum of six checkpoints before reaching the finish line in Berlin on 6, October 2020.
