Eritrea head coach Efrem Haile has said their second-place finish at the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup is a testament to how football has grown in the country.
Eritrea surprised many when they dethroned then defending champions Kenya after a 4-1 win during the semi-final but later fell to Uganda in the final.
Haile recounted how they have strived to help football grow in the Horn of Africa for the last couple of years.
