Flood delays Bayelsa Queens’ playing tour ahead of Champions League, official says

The flood currently ravaging several parts of the country has severely affected plans for a training tour by Bayelsa Queens ahead of the CAF Women’s Champions League in Morocco.

Preye Yabrifa, Media Officer of the Yenagoa-based football club said in Abuja on Tuesday that the team was scheduled to leave the country last Saturday for the tour.

“We were supposed to leave for Togo on Saturday, thereafter to Republic of Benin and then Israel before arriving at Morocco for the competition.

“But flood has limited our travel plans. There’s no way out of the state. We are supposed to be heading to the Port Harcourt International Airport.

“Right now we are considering other means of travel, either by boat or heavy duty vehicles like lorries, to get to Port Harcourt,” he said.

Yabrifa said the current situation has now made it uncertain if the team would go on the West African tour or travel directly to Israel and then Morrocco.

He however disclosed that he was certain that the team would leave the country on or before Friday.
