I just hope the Football Association is taking this tournament seriously. We hosting a major tournament next year. This is part of preparations as we had no qualifying games to play.
No madalas in team please.
Can FAZ tell us the programe of the under 20 because there is nothing which is happening in terms of markerting and the venues which stadium will host the opening and the finals? and who are in the organising committe?
