Football match in Khartoum (I)

Yeah, my office organized a football match between our team (Malaysians and our Sudanese friends) against another team (European/other African countries) yesterday night. Good organization managed to bring in sponsors like Coke, KLM Airlines, Sudan Liquid Air, DAL Food Industries, Hilton Khartoum, Langkawi Restaurant (joint M’sian/Sudanese owners).

Last minute briefing on our strategy and positions to be played and changed into our gears for warm-up sessions.
The bigger cup is what men are willing to 'die' for....hehehe. And a picture taken with our Malaysian Ambassador to Sudan before the start of the match.
With Sudanese referee/linesmen, the match started at 8pm. The opponent had been playing regularly and our team comprise of players who can play but didn’t play regularly or worse, for a long time. We were 2-0 down not long into the game. People could tell the fitness of our players. Mine was as suspicious too……hahahaha
