Zambia’s representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, Napsa Stars were made to wait at the airport for over two hours to be cleared in Mozambique ahead of Wednesday’s first-round second leg clash against UD Songo.
The team who arrived in Mozambique at 10:25 were only cleared to go afternoon. The team who had to wait for health officials for medical clearance were further delayed by the holding back of their foreign players and then a mechanical fault on the vehicle assigned to the team.
“Napsa Stars FC arrived safely in Beira Mozambique at 10:25 hours but had to endure over close to 3hrs delay at the airport.
