A football team and fans have drowned after a boat carrying them capsized on Lake Albert in Uganda. The group, from Buliisa District, was on its way to a Christmas day football match in Hoima District, singing songs and blowing trumpets and whistles.
The overcrowded vessel was carrying some 45 people. Police say the boat became unbalanced when too many passengers moved to one side.
Nine bodies have been recovered, and 15 people have been rescued, reports say.
Police commander John Rutagira told AFP that most passengers were drunk by the time they embarked on the boat.
