乌干达拳击队在英国格拉斯哥Commonwealth Games结束后，6名参赛选手中有4人未能按计划返回乌干达[1]。失踪的运动员包括队长Nuhu Batte、Ibrahim Kemis、Emily Nakalema和Angel Katushabe[1]。据报道，这些选手在关闭手机后消失，计划在英国申请庇护[1]。同时，巴基斯坦拳击手Qudratullah也未随队返回[1]。
英国大型体育赛事后运动员失踪的情况并非孤例[1]。根据记录，曼彻斯特在2002年举办Commonwealth Games期间估计有27人未离境，格拉斯哥在2014年的赛事中有66人滞留，伯明翰在2022年有17人[1]。目前，苏格兰警方已与英国边境局和UK Visas & Immigration合作处理此事[1]。
Four members of Uganda's boxing team have disappeared following the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with only two of the six-person squad returning home as scheduled [1]. The missing athletes—Ibrahim Kemis, Emily Nakalema, Angel Katushabe, and team captain Nuhu Batte—turned off their phones and vanished after the competition concluded [1]. They are reported to have plans to seek asylum in the United Kingdom, citing access to superior training facilities as their motivation [1].
Pakistani boxer Qudratullah also failed to return with his delegation [1]. Police in Scotland are working alongside UK Border Force and UK Visas & Immigration to address the disappearances [1]. This incident represents the latest in a recurring pattern at major British sporting events: the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester saw approximately 27 athletes remain in the country, followed by 66 in Glasgow in 2014 and 17 in Birmingham in 2022 [1].
