“We are preparing seriously for the gala and we want to win the cup, so we are training our team, we are done with our selection of best 18.
“Those players will be camped, we will feed them, train them because we are serious. We are not taking this as just entertainment, we are taking this as a tournament so it’s a world cup for us in Asante Akim,” he said.
