We are therefore confident in our ability to perform well here, and we are determined to remain competitive while giving the best of ourselves,” said Aduku at the pre-match press conference.
CBE coach, Heye Gizaw Birhanu said the team’s three attempts of qualifying for the tournament have finally paid off, but they remain focused as there was still a lot of work to be done.
‘After three attempts, we are finally here and yes, it is a good thing.
