Visa Hitch Disrupts Remo Stars' CAF Champions League Travel Plans

Remo Stars faced visa hurdles for their CAF Champions League match against Mamelodi Sundowns due to delays and rejections by the South African Consul in Lagos. Despite submitting visa applications on time, only a few members received approval, leading to the cancellation of travel arrangements for 43 applicants.

This incident echoes a similar situation in 2024 involving Nigeria's junior basketball team. The club officials expressed frustration over the delays, impacting their participation in the crucial second leg match.
