Dependable forward Hamza Mohamed (Hampu) has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading the national team in the Diamond Jubilee International Football Tournament, which kicks off today. This decision follows the exclusion of former captain Samooh Ali from the squad due to injury. National coach István Urbányi stated that while Hamza will be the team’s leader on the pitch, this appointment serves as a significant test of his leadership capabilities. Expressing his thoughts on the new role, Hamza remarked that wearing the national captain’s armband is a profound honor. However, he emphasized that every player in the squad must step up and fulfill their responsibilities as leaders on the field. The national team, a blend of experienced veterans and promising young talent, is set to face Afghanistan in their opening match tonight.
