Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia national team survived a near-disaster after the oxygen in their flight from Gambia to Ivory Coast failed while on board to Ivory Coast for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

According to Gambian journalist, Sane\u0301 Malang, some players fainted due to a lack of oxygen on the plane. The plane was forced to make a return to Gambia following the situation and two players have been left traumatized as a result.<\/p>\n
