Sahar Aganda, the head coach of Sahar Academy's women's basketball team, criticized the cancellation of the team's return train from Ibadan to Tehran without prior notice, saying that the team members had to travel by bus. A trip accompanied by the overturning of the bus and the injury of several players and members of the technical staff.
Aganda announced in a conversation with Jamaran that due to the unfavorable weather conditions, they did not want to participate in the tournament in the first place, but due to the possibility of a fine and registering a technical failure in case of withdrawal, they decided to send the team.
On the cancellation of the train he repeated: "When we arrived at the station it was about half an hour before the train's departure when we learned that our trip had been cancelled. No text message was sent to us and no information was given about the cancellation of the train."
The head coach of Sahar Academy added that after failing to get a plane ticket, the team members decided to return to Tehran with a closed bus. According to him, the person presenting the bus said that the driver has a history of transporting athletes.
Aganda said about the condition of the injured: "I suffered a head and nose fracture. Benny and Freya Mehramand were injured more than the rest of the team members and are hospitalized in the Arvand hospital in Hazuh. "My wife was also transferred to Ahvaz for surgery."
