Migrant Child Stows Away to Spain Under Football Bus
Club members fed and clothed the boy before police took him into custody after he hid under the coach for the ferry crossing and 100 km by road.
- On Monday, a Moroccan boy was discovered hidden beneath a Real Valladolid bus after traveling from the Spanish exclave of Ceuta to the mainland. Players found the child near the vehicle's wheel axle at a service station.
- The child remained concealed throughout the ferry crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar and for more than 100 kilometres by road before players heard unusual sounds and halted the bus.
- Club members provided the boy with food, water, and clothing at the service station. Police then took charge of the minor before transporting him for further processing.
- This incident occurs amid strict government efforts to contain irregular migration following the crisis in Ceuta on July 30 and 31, when authorities insisted no irregular migrants would be allowed to reach the mainland.
- More than 70,000 people swam around the border fence into Spanish territory during the July influx, prompting authorities to remain hyper-vigilant regarding opportunistic stowaway attempts as regional tensions persist in Ceuta.
