Dear Lionceaux,
It is with great pleasure and pride that I followed your match of
qualification for the African Cup of Nations of Football under
twenty (20) years, Niger 2019 and from the outset, I would like to address to the players and
to the members of the administrative and technical management, my congratulations and
my encouragement for the fighting, the commitment and the determination
that you have shown during all the playoffs.
By qualifying for this level of competition for the third time in a row,
you confirm the full potential and the talent which are in you and which
augurs of happy promises for your group.
This performance against the Congo (Brazzaville) places you today, more
than in the past, among the best African teams and it is important, as of
present, to endorse and enhance this status of excellence by a
irreproachable sporting behavior and the conquest of the African title of which
you were finalist in Zambia in 2017, of which I do not doubt that it
will mobilize all your energy.
The privilege to carry and to be able to satisfy the legitimate demand of the results
of the Senegalese football, considering the immense efforts made by the
taxpayer, is priceless and requires no respite; That is why I
wish that at the next U20 CAN of Niger, that the name of Senegal can
be inscribed in indelible letters on the roof of Africa.
Also I would like to encourage you to say, my dear Cubs, that the
Government and the People of Senegal will always be at your side.
Mr. Matar BA,
Minister of Sports
