Dodgy Eritrea Players Persuaded To Go Home
October 14, 2015
KABELO DIPHOLO
After an intervention by Botswana Football Association Officials, 10
players from the visiting Eritrea National team agreed to board the
bus enroute to Gaborone where they’ll board a 18:20 flight to
Johannesburg.
The team missed the morning flight due to stand off as some players
showed their desire to remain in the country.
Eritrea has a history of absconding whenever they are on national
duty. In 2012 17 players and a team doctor were reported to have
absconded in Uganda.
Only 12 players returned from a shopping trip.
In 2010 after the CECAFA tournament in Tanzania 13 players from
Eritrea team disappeared only to reappear in Houston Texas under
refugee resettlement programme in the United States.
