El Salvador not the real deal
14 April 2012
Zimbabwe's football friendly with El Salvador in Harare last night was cancelled after the visiting team were discovered to be fake.
The two sides drew 0-0 on Sunday as part of Zimbabwe's preparations for the African Nations Cup later this month.
However, the second game was cancelled after it was discovered that the visiting team bore no relation to the official El Salvador national side.
The bogus team were made up of a squad of club players put together by an Italian sportswear company who are sponsoring Zimbabwe's strip.
