Ketua Umum AC Elyzabeth Mauli menuturkan bahwa perjuangan dirinya bersama 39 orang rombongan tim lainnya ke Makau bukanlah perjalanan yang mudah. Ia menceritakan bahwa seluruh rombongan tim sempat harus bermalam di bandara Makau karena mereka baru bisa masuk ke penginapan pada keesokan harinya. Elyzabeth juga menuturkan bahwa salah satu kendala yang mereka hadapi selama berada di Makau adalah bahasa karena hampir seluruh panitia hanya bisa berbahasa Mandarin. “Pernah juga kami harus kena marah warga setempat karena harus berlatih di taman kota. Mau bagaimana lagi, kami tidak ada tempat representatif untuk berlatih selama di sana,” ujarnya.
