Many players have complained of headaches and dizziness due to the lack of oxygen
Moments of fear for the team Gambia flying to Ivory Coast for the next Africa Cup of Nations. According to what was said by the technician Tom Saintfiet “we could have died” due to the lack of oxygen in the plane.
“The crew said there was a problem with the air conditioning before take-off, but that everything would be fine after take-off,” Saintfiet told BBC Sport.
«After a few minutes, it was very hot on the plane. We all fell asleep because there was no oxygen, some players didn’t wake up. Luckily the pilot realized what was happening and reversed course a few minutes after take-off. If the flight had lasted another 30 minutes, the entire team would have died.”
