This, after the mother of one of the players, who asked to remain unnamed, accused him of misleading her about her son's return flight and refusing to refund the money.

She said her son misplaced his passport at Dubai airport and never made it to Spain with the rest of the team.

She also claims he assured her the flight was booked, but no ticket existed.

Initially, 38 people travelled to Spain to participate in the Donosti Cup.

After the tournament ended, 10 returned home on their own, but the remaining 28 children and three coaches were left stranded without return flights, sparking widespread concern.

According to the mother, the BT Football owner, Brandon Timmy, misled her.
