“We have to empower the youth. We have to be there for them. Something like this could possibly even break barriers with their mental health status. Supporting the players, guiding them and empowering them are the best things that we could do for them. I have total confidence in these young girls. Their ability, commitment and determination to play the game without even soccer kits are what really impressed me. I am excited to work with them and I am excited to see them grow and am convinced that they will defeat Katara Ladies of Kambia on Sunday,” he maintained.
