The Group L fixture between the pair is yet to commence after the Leone Stars refused to accept their alleged positive cases
Monday’s decisive Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Sierra Leone and Benin Republic has been delayed after the hosts refused to accept the results of Covid-19 tests presented to them.
While the Leone Stars were warming up for the make-or-break encounter, news emanated that six of the hosts’ players namely Ibrahim Sesay, Francis Koroma, Augustus Kargbo, Idriss Kanu, Alusin Koroma and Kassim Sima Turay tested positive for the virus.
And as a result of that, the Sierra Leoneans refused to go on with the encounter as they questioned the timing and reliability of the Covid-19 test.
