At the end of May, a men's football team set out from China to Europe to participate in an international friendly match. However, after arriving at its destination, it was refused entry at the airport and had no choice but to return to China.
This team consists of 20 young players, all of whom are echelon players in some football clubs. This visit is to improve the overall strength of the team and enhance exchanges with foreign teams. However, they were unexpectedly rejected at the airport where they arrived at their destination. It is understood that the team did not apply for a visa in advance but relied on the invitation letter and supporting materials from the event organizer to enter the country, which undoubtedly violated the regulations of the country of entry.
After refusing entry at the airport, the team experienced considerable difficulties. After all, they were refused entry collectively, so the airport did not give them much help and assistance and could only solve their accommodation and accommodation problems themselves. In addition, language barriers and communication difficulties make them more passive. In the end, the team could only buy a ticket for that night and return to China.
This matter has attracted the attention and heated discussion of many netizens. Some people accused the team of poor management and why it failed to apply for visas in advance, which led to the entry and exit problem this time. Others believe that the event organizers should complete all procedures for the team and should not let the team discover the problem after arriving. Others believe that the government should coordinate relevant matters and provide timely help to the team.
For this team, the failure of this trip plan is undoubtedly a lesson. After all, good organization and preparation are the foundation of success. I hope that the team can learn lessons in the future, pay attention to details, and make corresponding preparations. It is also hoped that relevant parties can provide better services and guarantees and provide better support for the team's entry and exit matters.
