“As a government and as a country, we can make sure we get all the finances and logistics that the team needs to shine on that day. We’ve started putting in all the necessary steps to ensure that nothing becomes a hindrance to our success on that day,” he said.
“Whatever we need to do as a country, in terms of making sure the players arrive on time or have a good session in training, especially when you have a new technical team, the government is ready to provide the necessary logistics.”
