The bus of the Abelhas Reinhas women's soccer team in Brazil was subjected to an armed attack, which resulted in the rape of one of its players inside the bus while it was preparing to leave the stadium after an official match in the local league.
After a regional league match against Fluminense in the northeastern state of Piaui, Brazil, the Abelhas Reinhas player boarded the team bus, which was preparing to leave the Estadio Lindolfo Montero, but was attacked by two men armed with knives.
According to coach Bigao Silva, the club president's bag was stolen and one of the players was sexually assaulted at gunpoint after the perpetrators removed the driver from the bus.
The military police were called and the gunmen were frightened by shooting in the air, but they were not arrested, as they threw the president's bag and managed to escape from the scene.
Silva commented: "It was an unfortunate situation. It was a shame, and it is unfortunate that it happened."
The coach's statements indicated that the player was alone in the bus with the driver, as he said, "We don't all go (to the bus) together. The Federation is pressing us to leave the locker room quickly. If we were able to take things little by little and leave together, it would have been much more difficult for this to happen. incident."
