last friendly match against Gambia tomorrow. The coach cited the previous matches against Sierra Leone and Morocco has given the team the confidence it needed to face any other team in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cGambia is better than us according to FIFA World Ranking, they are ranked 149 and<\/p>\n

we\u2019re at 165, but we\u2019re going to fight them and we are targeting nothing but a win, and that win will greatly help us,\u201d Coach Simon expressed. The coach also urged the fans to be more patient, as the team is in its early<\/p>\n

stages of development and their full support was needed. \u201cIn order to build a strong and firm team in Africa, it takes patience and effort. So, I request fans to continue supporting us in this. It\u2019s not about winning<\/p>\n

every time, that is not the goal at the moment,\u201d he urges. Coach Simon also expressed his confidence in the newly appointed head coach, Stefani Cusin, believing that the team was headed in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The South Sudan National Team (Bright Star), played a wonderful match against Sierra Leone last week and managed a 1-1 draw, however, it lost 2-0 to the host\u2019s (Morocco) on Saturday 9th October. The team will play Gambia today in its last friendly match of the FIFA Window Period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
