Acknowledging the unpredictability of the game, Coach Kamara expressed disappointment that their efforts did not yield the desired result.

When asked about his favourite game among those played so far, Coach Kamara highlighted their match against F8 Baller as particularly memorable.

Looking ahead to future fixtures, Coach Kamara expressed confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back.
“Whatever comes, we are set, but I believe we will come up stronger,” he affirmed.
“I know it’s very good, it’s a good fixture and it’s hard, but notwithstanding, my guys will pull a surprise in the next game. I believe that.”
Coach Kamara’s resilient attitude shows Zenith Emperor‘s determination to overcome challenges and make a strong comeback in the Nationwide League One tournament.
