I certainly will not belittle this. Some may see it as a mere symbolic upgrade, with little to do with sport.

We were a little bit surprised at the context of the letter, where it speaks to FIFA not being aware of what was happening, and I am a little bit disappointed because the FIFA development officer came here sometime in September and visited the site and was quite pleased to the extent that at a press conference the morning before he departed, he explained to the nation via the media that he was quite pleased that everything was on target.

I think it is now time for some healing to take place and for all of us to work towards the development of football which I believe is the interest of everybody. Some people will have differences and as such take different roads to achieve their ends but at the same time it is the sport that should benefit.

Many of the players have been playing for their premier league clubs and have been in camp almost on a weekly basis since January.

I am thankful for the support of those delegates who stood with the administration today because I am sure that they know that we mean football well. It is my hope that we will now unite in the best interest of nation's football.

Now that this nonsense is over I hope we will be given a chance to take care of the nation's football without any further hindrance.
