'It's been quite an ordeal'

ACADEMY SLAMMED OVER EURO DISASTER

- BY VOICE REPORTER

THE players of BT Football Academy were reunited with their families yesterday after Kaapse heroes pulled together to bring their nightmare Euro trip to an end.

Two flights from Portugal arrived at Cape Town International Airport, ending an almost week-long wait for return tickets home after participating at the Donosti Cup 2025 in San Sebastián, Spain.

An earlier group arrived on Tuesday night.

While they were scheduled to return home on 15 July, BT Football Academy founder Brandon Timmy only notified parents on 17 July that they would have to pay an extra R15 000 to get their kids home.
