For Ramadhan, careful analysis of opponents was key: “We studied each team in depth and adjusted our game accordingly, which worked wonderfully against more experienced teams. »
The challenges of the confrontation
This match represents more than just a quest for a medal. For FC Masar, this is an opportunity to show that their performance in this tournament is not a coincidence. For the Edo Queens, it is an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to bounce back from a difficult setback.
Ahmed Ramadhan remains confident: “We know it will be a difficult match, but we have the resources to deliver an excellent performance. » With a mix of young talent and experience, FC Masar could well surprise again.
The meeting is therefore set at the El Abdi Stadium in Casablanca, where the two teams will try to conclude their continental adventure in the best possible way.
