How Dannaz Ladies Promote
Fatai disclosed that they learn from their mistakes from last season and they came prepared this season.
He added that they gave the team more fight this season by preparing for the league by playing with male instead of girls.
He said, “This is one of the best moments of my life and for Dannaz FC Ladies in general because we came last year and lost a match. We also lost a match this season. It was somehow difficult, but in the end, it was easy for us. Last season was a great loss for us because we prepared a lot.
