— Is it possible to participate in some kind of tournament in the summer? For example, in the Central African Football Federation (CAFA) championship? Maybe you want to organize your own tournament?
— The CAFA tournament, which took place last year, was a competition organized by CAFA. Before they didn’t have official matches, now they do. We are thinking about the tournament with our colleagues from Belarus.
