Caribbean Airlines stepped in yesterday to assist the Alpha United team to travel to Costa Rica for the CONCACAF Champions League from July 26.
At a small presentation ceremony yesterday hosted at the Georgetown Football Club, Alpha United president Odinga Lumumba thanked the airline for their largesse that will see the 25-member team (20 players and five officials) travelling free of cost.
According to Lumumba a ticket for one person is US$1800 and the club was in a plight to generate funds to meet this cost; therefore, the airline’s gesture is “greatly appreciated.” Some members of the team are travelling today while the remainder will leave tomorrow for the match set for Club Sport Herediano on Tuesday.
