Siraki revealed that the three national team golfers have excelled in various competitions, earning their place to represent the country in this prestigious event, which will feature competitors from different African countries.
“All three golfers have experience in the competition, and we are now in the initial stages of preparation ahead of the event. We are currently looking for sponsors to support the team in travelling and competing in the tournament,” Siraki stated.
The tournament is scheduled for November 28 to 30 at the Tazegzout Golf Course, a venue known for its challenging layout and scenic views.
