We reject the portrayal of the Flamingos’ airport reception as political exclusion. The decision to decline an unscheduled meeting and photo request made through an unknown third party was guided by the players’ welfare after their journey and indeed the standard protocols and procedures.
The Flamingos’ World Cup victory is a moment of national pride. We invite anyone wishing to meet or host the team to contact the NSC or NFF to make suitable arrangements.
