The middle school students of CEM Belaouche Mohamed Oulhadj from Bordj-Menaïel will indeed take part in the CAF school championship. Having collected their visas in the morning, they flew to South Africa this afternoon.
This is a case that has flowed a lot of ink yesterday. College students from CEM Belaouche Mohamed Oulhadj from Bordj-Menaïel were unable to travel to South Africa to compete in the CAF African school football championship. After having had assurances from the FAF, which invited them to reach Algiers airport in order to board a flight for Dubai, the members of the delegation had the bad news. For lack of a visa, they could not board, after several hours of waiting at the airport.
But it was only this morning that the problem was finally solved. Indeed, the college students as well as the other members of the delegation have finally obtained their visa. And this, following the intervention of the high authorities of the country. So they flew this afternoon to South Africa, via Paris.
Thus, the college students of CEM Belaouche Mohamed Oulhadj will indeed take part in the tournament. The good news delighted all the Algerians who wished them good luck.
