The Gambia national team’s plane had to make a u-turn to Banjul shortly after takeoff due to technical problems.
The flight was carrying the squad to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. The plane had to be delayed after losing oxygen, leading to a loss of cabin pressure.
The Gambia Football Federation released a statement regretting the incident and stating that a new departure time has been arranged for the players and officials.
The team is in Group C with Senegal, Cameroon, and Guinea in the Africa Cup of Nations.
