A friendly international football match in Tanzania was dramatically interrupted when a swarm of bees invaded the pitch.
This forced players, officials and media personnel to pause the game for several minutes.
The unusual incident occurred during the Tanzanite Preseason Tournament on Wednesday, at Kwaraa Stadium.
A well-known venue for regional tournaments and friendly fixtures in Tanzania.
In the 78th minute, play came to an abrupt halt as a large swarm of bees descended from a nearby tree onto the field, causing panic among the players.
Match officials swiftly instructed everyone on the pitch to lie flat to avoid stings and ensure safety, bringing the game to a standstill while the swarm passed.
