Good times: The Mares beat Gabon 10-1 over two legs PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

The Mares’ head coach, Mohambi Saulos, believes that despite advancing to the second round of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers with a record win, the team has not yet reached the desired level.

Saulos, a recent addition to the Mares’ technical bench, has been with the team for just two weeks and made his debut in the two-legged first-round qualifier against Gabon.
