He said, "Our U-17 team will play Tottenham on May 18, before proceeding to USA were they will hold a final training camp before connecting to Mexico for the World Cup finals.

General Kazura revealed that one of his ‘friends’ Les Howie (of the Umubano project) helped to secure the friendly match and he hopes that the game will be a great opportunity for Richard Tardy’s team to test itself against a top side like Tottenham.
