Harambee Stars Of Kenya Finally Landed In Calabar. by Cornel88(m): 1:07am On Mar 22, 2013
After spending an unforgettable
night in Lagos on Thursday,
Harambee Stars finally landed
safely in Calabar ahead of the
World Cup qualifier against
Nigeria's Super Eagles on
Saturday.
They were warmly received by
officials of the Nigeria Football
Federation. Unlike Lagos, they
were given two buses and an
official saloon car for head of the
Kenyan delegation and taken to
the Channel View Hotel.
Head of Delegation Hussein Terry
confirmed to Goal.com that the
team had arrived in Calabar, the
city where the match will be
staged, despite another two
hour flight delay in Lagos.
Terry further said the team had
refused attempts to have two
players share a single room in
Calabar.
“Our hosts wanted the players to
share a single room but we
declined. We are glad that some
Fifa officials have already arrived
in Calabar and they intervened.”
He further revealed that the team
was supposed to get a training
ground at 4pm on Thursday after
having lunch. They were later to
train at the Univesity of Calabar
sports grounds, watched by a
crowd of spectators.
Earlier, Kenyan Sports
Commissioner Gordon Oluoch
confirmed that the government
has intervened in the matter
through its High Commissioner in
Lagos.
Oluoch said following media
reports of mistreatment of the
team in Lagos, the Sports Ministry
had contacted the Kenyan
ambassador in Lagos who talked
to Nigerian Sports Minister to
intervene.
“Our High Commissioner has also
sent an official to accompany
Stars to Calabar and ensure they
are comfortable and have
everything they need.”
The match officials have been
designated from Botswana with
Bondo Joshua the centre referee,
Mepudi Meshack Ist Assistant,
Momedi Monakwame 2nd
Assistant, Kutlano Lesso fourth
official and Sey Omar from
Gambia, the Match Commissioner.
