Meanwhile, the Bundesliga team Arguburg is meant to establish bilateral relations outside the scope of football. MTPA has indicated during the briefing that the Germans have been dominant tourists in the province. DSCR indicated that its involvement is to ensure that the province rallies behind TS Galaxy while MER will mobilise other stakeholders.
“It is one momentous occasion once again that TS Galaxy does not necessarily talk in the boardroom, rather demonstrates and translates such into practice. These formidable partnerships with Arguburg remain the beginning of a large scale of the club’s invasion to the European markets.”
