As for this final, it will be very important for Hafia. Being in the final is a source of pride but winning the cup will be even better. I know this match will be tough against a good Renaissance FC team that I have a lot of respect for. The best will win this final.

We eliminated Hafia last year in the quarter finals. We are a young team who have repeated their performance. We are ready to win the cup this time. We wanted this final to be played on neutral ground, not at the Petit Sory stadium. We play against Hafia who has her own resources. But, we come to play and we give it our all. It just has to be fair between the two clubs. If that’s not the case, I’m ready to go over the game, even in the final. It’s that simple. Morally, FC Renaissance is ready for this final. We are playing against a big club, but we will go there, not to play, but to win the game.”
