Coronavirus: Cameroon offers relief to stranded Sao Tome and Principe team

Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) has pledged to offer relief for stranded Sao Tome and Principe in Yaounde, after they have been unable to return home since last Saturday.

Goal earlier reported that the Sao Tomean delegation were left stranded after their 6-0 U17 Women's World Cup qualifier defeat against the Indomitable Lionesses at Ngoa-Ekelle Stadium.

Report says the team could not return to Sao Tome due to a border closure in Equatorial Guinea, which saw their flight cancelled as a result of the widespread coronavirus pandemic.

On Thursday, Fecafoot disclosed that it is in talks with the Cameroon government and Sao Tomean Football Federation to ensure the U17 team returns home and reunite with the families.
