Africa Cup Qualifiers Eritrea recruits abroad
Eritrea has announced its intention to form a new national football team comprising players from the diaspora, following the defection of seven players during the last match. This move aims to compensate for the shortage of players and address the crisis caused by the escape of several athletes from military conscription and the oppressive background. Despite the defection issue, Eritrea will continue participating in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, having recently qualified after defeating Eswatini. The team is set to face Kenya in Nairobi, relying on a squad of 27 players from foreign clubs, including 14 for the first time, among them dual-nationality players. This step is part of the government's efforts to recruit players from the diaspora, especially those with dual citizenship, to confront internal challenges.
