A football player from Cameroon arrived to sign a contract with Ural, but ended up in the SVO.
A foreigner from Africa, Mevungu Mbe Stevis Astrid, found himself in a Russian military special operation after arriving in Russia to sign a contract with the football club "Ural." E1.RU reports on the mystification that the African became a hero of.
Last year, the 19-year-old boy from Cameroon met a man who offered to mediate his trip to Yekaterinburg for further admission to the football club "Ural." At that time, the young man was playing for the Cameroonian club "Canon Yaoundé," E1.RU reports.
The offer was received not only by Stevis but also by his brother and his friend. The man provided them with documents related to the future contract for signing and bought them tickets to Moscow. The documents were in Russian.
Upon arrival in the capital, the Africans learned from their accompanying "agent" that they had signed a contract for military service. They were promised that after their service, they would be able to return to their sports careers, reports Gazeta.ru.
Thus, they ended up at the military enlistment office. Stevis spent a year among the stormtroopers, where he was given the call sign "Maksimka" (the name of the main character in the eponymous Soviet film—a black boy saved from a sinking slave ship in the Atlantic Ocean by Russian sailors and who became a cabin boy).
In Yekaterinburg, "Maksimka," now alone, arrived after the end of his contract. His friend was killed, and his brother ended up in captivity.
The president of the "Ural" club refused to consider the Cameroonian. "This is just not serious," explained Grigory Ivanov to Sport24. He confirmed that he had not heard of such a player.
The Cameroonian received an invitation for a trial from "SindEkata"—a club competing in the Media Football League, reports 66.RU. After trial training sessions, the club will decide whether to take Stevis into the team.
