Online drive gets footballers home
Sentinel News
|July 25, 2025
Funds raised through an online campaign have secured 28 flights for coaches and children stranded in Europe after participating in a youth football tournament in Spain.
The group initially consisted of 38 people who participated in the 2025 Donosti Cup in San Sebastian, Spain.
After the tournament, 10 managed to arrange their own travel home, but 28, mostly children and three coaches, were left stranded due to alleged serious travel planning failures by BT Football, a Cape Town-based soccer academy responsible for the trip.
Parents reportedly paid around R50 000 each to cover travel, accommodation, and meals.
