a�?It is great for all football teams in this country to have registered youth football team and the use of CAF licences for coaches especially the youth coaching licenses. The most important thing is to put structures in place in developing grassroots football,a�?A� Millar was quoted as saying on the Zifa website.
He further highlighted the importance of football development and how the products can guarantee success.
