Addressing the young players, Mr Toussaint congratulated them as their efforts had been recognised and rewarded. He urged them to seize this golden occasion to strive and make both their parents and their country proud.

For his part, the LFCIA-Mauritius Head Coach underlined that it was a talented group of young players who would play three showcase matches against professional teams in the north, centre and south of the UK.

He stated that it would provide a chance for the selected players to gauge their performance and demonstrate their talents on a professional and international stage.

Mr Neil Murphy thus looked forward to a fruitful tour where the Mauritian side would be confident to express themselves effectively on the field while optimistically attracting the attention of football scouts and agents.
