They must also, create a fan database that is purely team membership base, create a business model that can convert her fan base to wealth, must be strategically structured to engage the Community, attract people to the stadium and commercialize her operations.
In addition, create and develop a partnership framework with government, traditional, private, and grassroots institutions for the growth and development and advancement of the club.
