“We always were busy, from the age of 9 until 17 you are always busy with sports and over the past years we’ve not seen that happening. I would love to see other private sector companies supporting teams like yours, it would make a huge difference for your health, mentally you’ll be better, and physically you’ll be better. I am very proud to see a young team like you representing my country, best wishes to you all to succeed and advance to the next stage.”
He concluded by saying that the more support his company gets from customers means the more they can give back in return.
