There are three trophies to be won. The gold, silver and bronze.\u00a0 We do pray for them to win the ultimate,\u00a0 but even if they end up with the silver or the bronze medals, (or even 4th-place),\u00a0 they should organise a \u2018Thank you\u2019 tour of all African countries first and foremost, to set the stage to garner all African votes for the 2030 World Cup bid. COSUA will be more than willing to assist in this exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarfo Abebrese \u00a0 The Coalition of Supporters\u2019 Unions of Africa (COSUA), has called on all Africans everywhere to pray for and support Morocco to win the FIFA World Cup trophy for Africa for the first time in the history of the continent.
