DAR ES SALAAM: YOUNG Africans Head Coach, Sead Ramovic, approaches today’s highly anticipated match against Tanzania Prisons with a clear determination to secure victory.
Acknowledging the challenge posed by their experienced opponents, Ramovic expressed confidence in Yanga’s preparation and focus on the task ahead.
