The FA boss urged them to keep dreaming big, let their \u2018incredible\u2019 speak for them and show they can do against East African opponents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all agree that it\u2019s important to compete in the Cecafa U15 but you need to go there and show what you have. This is a good opportunity for you to raise your level and make us proud,\u201d he told the players.<\/p>\n
