Tunisia football club shuts as players all emigrate
The fourth-division Ghardimaou club's president, Jamil Meftahi, said his players had left either by sea or to Serbia before illegally crossing the border to other European countries
A Tunisian football club has suspended its activities after 32 of its players emigrated to Europe.
The fourth-division Ghardimaou club’s president, Jamil Meftahi, said his players had left either by sea or to Serbia before illegally crossing the border to other European countries.
Tunisians did not need a visa for Serbia until last November.
The club president said he could not pay the players – with Tunisia in the grip of an economic crisis.
The country is a major departure point for ships carrying migrants to Europe.
President Kais Saied has rejected a US$1.9 billion rescue package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) because it involves spending cuts.
