It’s been our dream to play on the global stage and with the support and unflinching support from our King, we are very confident our dreams will be a reality. Our King is in support of our ambitions and every discussion we’ve had has been very positive.”

“His Majesty as we understand is very committed to help us get to play in Spain and we are very appreciative of the effort. Togbi has equally demanding responsibilities as well, so we are looking to identify other prominent people from our area to support our King in this regard.
