Seven Eritrean Players Disappear After AFCON 2027 Qualification
The Eritrean national football team's delegation in South Africa experienced a mysterious incident when seven players disappeared immediately after contributing to their team's qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations preliminary qualifiers.
The incident occurred following the second leg of the preliminary round, which saw Eritrea defeat Eswatini 2-1. According to "Foot Africa," seven players did not return to their home country, with only three local players out of a total of ten making the journey back.
The reasons for their disappearance remain unclear. However, media reports have speculated about the possibility of an "escape," suggesting that the players involved may have refused to return to their country after the match.
