The coach engaged with the promising players, emphasizing the significance of hard work, dedication, and the opportunities that lie ahead in their footballing journey.
“Hard work always pays off. You may not see the results immediately, but every effort you put in on the pitch and in training brings you closer to your dreams,” he told the young players.
“This competition is just the beginning of your journey. Take each game seriously, learn from every experience, and continue to push yourself beyond your limits.
