He said: “You are no longer ordinary athletes known only by your names; you are now ambassadors of Edo State. This is an opportunity not just to host, but to win,” Enabulele said.

“The environment is very conducive. I therefore advise that we remain focused on why we are here and maintain a very high level of discipline,” he added.
He informed the athletes that Governor Okpebholo has approved an increment in the camping allowance for the athletes to motivate the team.
