they interacted with the players and members of the technical team and presented the team with water, drinks, fruits, and snacks as their show of support.

mrs evelyn nsiah asare reaffirmed the association’s commitment to the team, stating, “we want you to know that we have your interest at heart and we support everything you are doing. we felt it was important to come closer, see how you are faring, and understand your needs.”
responding, the captain of the team, ahmad samad abdul, thanked the executives for the gesture and indicated that the team was gradually making progress through the guidance of the technical team and was hopeful the team would shine at the championship.
