Coach Aboulie Bojang and his Under -17 team will step out this evening to defend the national flag in the Wafu Zone A tournament with a match against host Senegal in Thiés. Bojang has nearly two-dozen players drafted from various teams in the domestic league at his disposal with some of them at the peak of their form. With MRI tests in his favour he would gun to past Senegal tonight with a solid three points. That would clear his path for the battle against Mauritania the only other team left in this group of three. Tonight’s opening match would kick off at 4.PM.
The Gambia Football Federation GFF yesterday posted that the Baby Scorpions have safely arrived and taken board at the Diambar Sport Complex hotel in Thiés with so far no report of MRI or Covid issues.” That is really very encouraging and these boys are hungry to follow the success story of their brothers, the Under -20 who will be playing in Afcon later in the month,” an official accompanying the team told The Standard.
