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 Yusuf Campos died in a private clinic in the capital Cotonou on Monday morning.
Campos' death comes after he was attacked by unknown assailants in 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.
It is still unclear as to whether the attack was in any way linked to Saturday's loss.
The Benin Football Association is yet to decide on what action to take
next.
Il est décédé des suites d'une agression d'un supporter après la défaite 0-3 face au Nigéria.
