Tragedy hits Youth Championship

BBC Sport, Cotonou



Benin's Yessouffo 'Campos' Samiou died after being attacked

The African Youth Championship in Benin has been rocked by the death of a player just two days after the start of the tournament.

Benin's under-20 goalkeeper Yessouffo 'Campos' Samiou died in a private clinic in the capital Cotonou on Monday morning.

Samiou's death comes after he was attacked by unknown assailants near his hotel on Sunday night.

He was apparently admitted to the clinic with neck and arm injuries from the attack.

The goalkeeper was part of the Benin team that lost 3-0 to Nigeria in their opening game at the African Youth Championship on Saturday.

Thousands of home fans left the stadium before the end of the game, furious at the poor display of the team despite so much investment in the side's preparations.
