SCORES of Egyptian girls in Kano, northern Nigeria, on Monday continued their seige of the hotel housing the Egyptian football team.
The girls, autograph hunters in their teens and early twenties, lurked around the hotel’s reception hall with the hope of getting the players’ attention.
Some of the Egyptian players not only granted autographs but gave their jerseys out to some of the girls in appreciation of their “love and care”.
Fouziya Abdallah said she and her friends decided to visit the players at the hotel “to show our love and support and to assure them that we will mobilize others to root for them on Tuesday when they meet Tunisia”.
