ZIMBABWEAN soccer champions FC Platinum and the entire
travelling delegation had all their bags including soccer balls and playing kit
missing upon landing in Khartoum this
morning ahead of their Caf Champions League match against hosts Al Hilal on
Friday.
No explanation could be obtained from the airliner that
ferried the Zimbabwean delegation, Ethiopian Airways.
After touching down at 1AM from Bole Airport in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia, the Zimbabwean delegation were quickly whisked away through
the customs formalities and all looked to be smooth sailing until it was time
to collect the luggage.
They was no joy for
the next one and a half hours as the players, technical team, management and travelling members of the media patiently
waited for their bags until the FC Platinum general manager Joseph Mususa broke
the sad news that the bags were nowhere to be found.
“At the moment we don’t even know where our bags are, this
is why the general manager and the head of delegation remained at the airport
while the team went to get some rest in
the hotel,” said Chido Chizondo, the FC Platinum media and liaison officer.
