‘Other federation programs like equipping the entire human resource with required knowledge and skills, well organized structures for youth football and senior leagues, good sports facilities and equipment. Government policies that favor the game in the country will see us get back to the greater heights’ added Lubowa.
Lubowa further said ‘This is a project that needs time to bear fruits for such ideas to be implemented place’
Lubowa is one of the five instructors conducting the CAF ‘B’ Coaches course in Njeru.
