Niger were the first to arrive last week before being joined by their Malian counterparts.

WE NEED TO ADOPT THE MENTALITY OF SCORING AND NOT BE SCORED ON. NO GOALS AGAINST PLS…..

1. STRIKERS MUST STRIKE AT WILL
2. MIDFIELDERS MUST HOLD N POSSESS THE BALL, DISTRIBUTE
3. DEFENSE MUST NOT ALLOW ANY GOALS

LETS MAKE HISTORY AS THE FIRST TEAM TO WIN THE TROPHY WITHOUT CONCEDING ANY GOALS
