“To be very honest, ASFAR ladies exhausted us, the Moroccans caused a lot of problems,” he told Asempa FM on the Ultimate Sports Show.

“We thought we wouldn’t have been able to advance into the next stage since our neighbours (Nigeria) were kicked out of the maiden Championship,” he disclosed.

“The ladies exerted a lot of energy, especially in the second half.

“The ladies couldn’t attend breakfast the next day due to fatigue. They slept the whole day,” he revealed.
