Stephen Eze was in Istanbul when his agent inquired whether he would be interested in playing for Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League (ISL). “I said, okay, no problem," said the 26-year-old Nigerian.
He had no idea then how difficult getting to India could be. Eze reached Goa for ISL7 on November 4 nearly three weeks after JFC began the process of getting him to fly from Abuja, Nigeria. It started with getting the visa. “I couldn’t get it on the appointed day," he said. Or for the next 10 days.
