The Administrative Secretary, added “this gathering can best be described as business unusual in furtherance of the current government’s mantra.

He said “We understand that if one wishes to run a football club business successfully, the media must be involved. This drive we are embarking on would be media driven as partners in progress.

“Our target is a minimum of one million ambassadors who are expected to pay a token as a membership fee. At the same time, they enjoy some benefits that include but are not limited to identification cards, tickets to our home games, memorabilia, and many more depending on which category a member picks.

“We have also begun talks with media consultants to help us push this drive through various social media platforms.”
