The fact that I’ll be covering it for CAF makes it extra special – I will be covering it from the front the seat,” Mr. Bah GFF Media.
“I’m humbled that my first senior AFCON coverage features my Scorpions. I have covered the senior national team closely for the last seven years and to be at the AFCON with them is a dream come true for me.”
Together with the CAF Media, Mr. Bah also reports for BBC Africa Sports and is the Secretary General of Real de Banjul Football Club as well as the assistant Secretary General of the Sports Journalist Association of The Gambia.
