“We are ready. We’ve seen our opponents, and we know it won’t be easy, but it’s not easy for anyone. There is no such thing as an easy group in this competition,” Ali told CAF Online.
“If you qualify for a tournament like this, you must prepare well. We know who we’re up against, and we know what we need to do. The only way forward is to get ready and fight hard to make our people proud,” he added.
