The Belize men's national soccer team had its bus stopped by an armed group of Haitian insurgents while traveling to its hotel on Monday ahead of a Thursday World Cup qualifier against Haiti in Port-Au-Prince, per ESPN's Adriana Garcia.
The team was traveling from the Toussaint Louverture airport to its hotel with a small police escort when an armed motorcycle gang surrounded the bus.
"Despite the four-man police escort, the team bus was stopped by an uproar of insurgents with assault rifles on motorcycles and police escorts were forced to negotiate with them for the team bus to continue its journey to the hotel," Belize's football federation (FFB) said in a statement.
