Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Five Sudanese footballers died on Sunday when their boat sank in the Nile, north of the capital Khartoum, official news agency, Sudanese News Agency reported.<\/b><\/p>\n

It said the players, members of the third division team Navigation, were on their way to play a match when their boat sank.<\/p>\n

The agency did not state how the vessel sank but said the entire team was on board.<\/p>\n

The players were travelling from the city of Shendi in the River Nile state in northern Sudan to the city of Al Matama to play against El-Jiref, in the third division league<\/p>\n

Boat accidents are not new on the Nile. Passenger ferries are often old and not safe.<\/p>\n

Incidents are particularly frequent when the river tends to flood in the summer when water levels rise.<\/p>\n
