Abedi Pele visits Dar es Salaam

Former Ghanaian international and African Player of the Year Abedi Pele is in Dar es Salaam to see take a look at Tanzanian football.
Pele who is on a two-day visit, was accompanied by Fifa Development Officer in charge of
East/South Africa Ashford Mamelodi and were welcomed with TFF president Leodegar Tenga and Technical Director Sunday Kayuni together with other officials.
Pele attended a training program for Tanzania youth side 'Serengeti Boys' at the Karume Memorial Stadium, and said he was pleased with work done by TFF to create projects for youngsters.
“There are no shortcuts in success. Players with talents need to work more hard so as to perform at a very top level. Without hard work, and commitment you cannot succeed.”
“If those who are gifted with talents don't work hard, they won't go anywhere - but those without talents, when they work hard they reach far and have great achievements,” he added.
Pele urged the Serengeti boys to make huge efforts and qualify for the African Youth Championships which will be held in Algeria earlier next year.
