Flight Woes Ground Burkina Faso for Argentina Match
3 Oct
Summary
- Burkina Faso team stranded in Morocco due to flight issues.
- Argentina's friendly match faces potential postponement or cancellation.
- Match deadline is 1 p.m. local time Saturday for game to proceed.
Argentina's scheduled friendly match against Burkina Faso in Buenos Aires on Saturday, Oct. 3, is uncertain due to the African team's flight difficulties. Burkina Faso has been stuck in Morocco since canceling their charter flight on Sept. 30. The team's federation stated that finding a solution has been challenging due to travel time constraints.
According to reports, the Burkina Faso players have boycotted training sessions in protest. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has set a deadline of 1 p.m. local time on Saturday for Burkina Faso's arrival if the 9 p.m. scheduled kickoff is to occur. Options being considered include postponing the match, replacing Burkina Faso with an Argentine club, or outright cancellation, though the latter is less desirable for the AFA.
