The Scorpions have held its first training session in El Jadida, Morocco, as part of its training camp in the North African country. The team trained at 10am local time, 9am in Banjul. The one-hour training session is the first of two sessions planned for today.
Amongst the players that took part in today’s first session were the latest newcomer Saidy Janko and the returning trio of Sheriff Sinyan, Ibou Touray and Ebou Adams.
23 of the 26 invited players are already in camp and were all part of today’s session. The initial training was mainly some recovery sessions and drills. Ablie Jallow, Dembo Darboe and Modou Barrow will arrive today and take part in Wednesday’s exercise ahead of Thursday’s first match with Morocco’s local base national team who themselves are preparing for the FIFA Arab World Cup in Qatar later this year.
This camp is part of The Gambia’s technical preparations ahead of its maiden African Cup of Nations match in Cameroon early next year. The Scorpions will also play against Sierra Leone and South Sudan. Gambia, Leone Stars and the Bright Stars are all based at the same Pullman Hotel.
