What
is next for the Gambia Senior National team as the continent’s biggest football
fiesta qualifiers is fast approaching.
The
Scorpions are set to begin their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers away to
Benin next month in Porto-Novo, before hosting Algeria in their second match in
March 2018 in Banjul, but preparations are yet to start for the qualifiers
opener against the fellow West Africans.
Preparation
for the Scorpions opening fixtures against fellow West Africans next month in
Porto-Novo is currently slow and not convincing as the Gambia Football
Federation and its Technical Department at the Football House are all keeping
quiet.
The
Scorpions played only international test matches in March 2017 in Rabat,
Morocco, where they defeated Central Africa Republic 2-1.
Striker
Mustapha Carayol and Modou Secka Barrow were on the score sheet after losing to
Morocco CHAN team 2-1 in the first international test match as the qualifiers
for the continent’s biggest gala approaches.
Training
programme for the home-based players is yet to commence as the qualifiers for
the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations is fast approaching.
Coach
Sang Ndong is yet to start his technical and tactical preparations prior to the
Scorpions’ Africa Cup of Nations opening fixtures against Benin next month in
Porto-Novo.
Coach
Sang Ndong is expected to start his preparations with the home-based players
before inviting several key foreign-based players for their crucial opening
fixtures away to Benin next month.
Sang
Ndong will also be planning to assemble a formidable side to face Benin in the
2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers away to Benin next month to increase
their hopes of winning their opening fixtures to land their first vital three
points in the qualifiers.
The
Gambia are in group D alongside Algeria, Benin and Togo of the 2019 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifiers.
Only
group winners, two best losers and host nation Cameroon will qualify for the
2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
