The Gambia Football Team will leave for Ghana tonight where they will participate in the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Cup of Nations.
The Gambia will play the opening game against the host Ghana on the 9 September, next Saturday. Team Coach Omar Sise has said that the boys are in good shape and high spirit.
“Our objective in the first place is to put up a team ready to challenge the hosts Ghana. That is what I based my selection on.” Sise, who guided The Gambia to final against host Senegal in the 2015 edition, is very confident that his team can go far in the tournament.
“Our next objective is to go very far in the tournament and be able to win the trophy. It’s difficult but I am with the belief that the boys can deliver to our expectations and make the country proud”.
