It is now a full camp at the Cranes’ base in Egypt with Miya’s arrival.

“We are ready for the task ahead of us on Sunday and I know Tanzania will come with full force wanting to win the match to secure qualification  but we also want to finish on a high. We shall give it our best shot’ Miya noted.
