A friendly international football match in Tanzania was dramatically interrupted after a swarm of bees invaded the pitch, forcing players, officials, and media personnel to halt the game for several minutes.
The unusual incident took place during the Tanzanite Preseason Tournament on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at Kwaraa Stadium, a well-known venue for regional competitions and exhibition matches.
Chaos erupted in the 78th minute when the bees, reportedly emerging from a nearby tree, suddenly swarmed the field. Players and officials quickly scattered in panic before match officials instructed everyone to lie flat on the ground as a precaution against stings and potential injuries.
