“I’m really encouraged, in fact I had to ask for leave from the Speaker of House, since parliament is for the week, today is the last day but I had to ask for leave to be here with you. That’s to show you that your government is equally interested in the development of soccer in the country.”

He also says he was happy to see the parents out in numbers supporting there.

The two day tournament is currently underway at Nasinu Muslim Primary School and will come to an end tomorrow.
