The
Gambia have started intensive training prior to their 2018 CHAN Qualifiers
against Mali in July 2017 in Banjul.
The
Gambia under the guidance of coach Alagie Sarr assisted by Foday Bah, Abdoulie
Bojang and goalkeeper Abdoulie Njie, are currently training with 28 local-based
players at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium for crucial qualifiers against
fellow West Africans for a place in the next round of the qualifiers.
The
Gambia failed to qualify for the 2016 CHAN after losing to Senegal 4-1 on
aggregate in the qualifiers. The Scorpions lost 3-1 to Senegal in the first leg
in Dakar and 1-0 in the second leg in Banjul.
The
Scorpions also failed to qualify for the continent’s local-based players’
competition since its inception in 2009, by CAF for players playing their trade
in their domestic league competitions.
