Nine people, including at least two players, were wounded during the shooting, reports said. Central defender Serge Akakpo was among those hurt and back-up goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale was also reportedly injured.

Romanian side FC Vaslui confirmed that Mr Akakpo, who joined the club from French side Auxerre last year, was shot and badly injured in the attack. The 22-year-old was out of danger after being struck by two bullets and being treated by doctors, the club said.

The team's communications manager was among those seriously wounded in the shooting.

Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor was also on the bus but is unhurt. Speaking to the BBC, he described the incident as "one of the worst experiences of his life".

why even relate it to the world cup then when it is on the other side of the continent and the situations have nothing to do with the world cup?

if emmanuel chipped in a very small amount of his millions and paid for flights (like george weah used to) this would not have happened

instead the team had to make a dangerous bus ride across countries just to get there

Or if, like most people over there are saying, they just didn't have games in Cabinda.

But yeah, don't see why Ade couldn't have maybe chipped in for a flight
