A Moroccan teenager was found on the bus of the Spanish football club Valladolid during a return trip from Ceuta, the young man hid in a gap between the wheel and the bottom of the bus. This is reported by The Athletic.
Valladolid, acting in the second most important division of the championship of Spain, on September 20 in the sixth round played away with Ceuta with a score of 1: 1. After the match, the team returned by ferry to the mainland of Spain, while during the crossing the Spanish Civil Guard did not find any unauthorized persons.
On July 30, a mass transfer of Moroccan refugees began in Ceuta. Most crossed the border by swimming, in inflatable circles and small boats. Ceuta authorities estimated the number of illegal migrants entering the country at almost 70,000.
The club returned to Valladolid by two buses. About an hour after the start of the trip - while the transport was in the province of Cadiz, near Seville - strange sounds were heard in one of them, where the players were traveling. As a result, it turned out that a teenager hid in the area of the rear wheel.
He was disoriented and malnourished, and Valladolid medical staff gave him drink and food, as well as an examination. He had no injuries, although he complained of back pain. As a result, the teenager was taken by the Civil Guard.
Valladolid vice president Jorge Santiago said the incident left the players and accompanying persons in "a real shock." “First, because we’ve never seen anything like this before, and second, because we know that someone is risking their life to go to another country,” Santiago said.
The incident was commented on by the Civil Guard. “The minor was taken to hospital for examination and medical attention. The teenager managed to sneak into the bus during the team’s stay in this autonomous city; he was not noticed during standard security checks before boarding the flight to the mainland.
