A boat carrying a football team and its fans capsized on Lake Albert in Uganda with nothing less than 30 people feared dead.

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.

Boat accidents are fairly common on Lake Albert and in other parts of Africa.

Vessels are often packed with too many people and goods, and in a poor state.

Police commander John Rutagira told AFP news agency that most passengers were drunk by the time they embarked on the boat.
