The country’s biggest community football fiesta, known as the Super Nawettan, is now slated for 25 October 2015.The championship is expected to bring together 12 major nawettan zones.

Banjul, Serrekunda East and Bakau are three household names, as each has won the title more than any other zone, since the competition started in the 1990s.

Lamin won it twice, in 2002 and 2011, after beating Banjul and Sukuta in the finals at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium and Independence Stadium in Bakau.

Sukuta, Brikama and Serrekunda West won the Super Nawettan once in their history in 2005, 2012 and 2013 respectively.

Sukuta beat Serrekunda West 2-1 in the final game played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau, to clinch their first Super Nawettan title in 2005.

Brikama defeated Bakau 3-2 in the finals played at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium, to claim their first-ever title of the super nawettan in 2012.

Serrekunda West beat Brikama 1-0 in the final game played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau, to lift their first title of the Super Nawettan in 2013.

Gunjur, Brufut, Manjai, BEM and Serrekunda Central are yet to taste the sweetness of the Super Nawettan title.
