“What I like about this tournament is that it shows the state of our local championships.
“This is our foundation. If we do not have good domestic championships, we will go nowhere. Thanks to everyone’s work, our leagues are competitive.
“Competitive leagues which give competitive inter-club tournaments including the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederations Cup. There is no secret, everything starts from the local championships.”
