Malkia Strikers qualified for Summer Olympics Games after 16 years, completing a clean run where they crushed hosts Cameroon, Nigeria, Egypt and Botswana. But the government should now walk the talk and help Malkia Strikers prepare accordingly for the Games. Credible build-up matches should not only be organised for Malkia Strikers but the players must be remunerated accordingly. Besides Malkia Strikers, the government should also explore how the men and women’s rugby teams will prepare. The men’s rugby team, especially, are strong medal prospects.
