Speaking through the Minister of Youths and Sports Sunday Dare, Buhari lamented that the boys couldn’t play in the finals, but he however cheered the guys up for winning Bronze, charging them to prepare and do better at the upcoming FIFA U-20 W’Cup.
“We were disappointed we couldn’t play in the final or win this competition as we planned to, but this convincing victory over Tunisia today (Friday) has redeemed some of the pain we felt last Monday after the Gambia game. A bronze medal is better than nothing,” Buhari said through the Minister for Youths and Sports Sunday Dare Friday evening and was quoted by Completesports.
