The Gambia senior national team players are expected to arrive in Morocco on Sunday 1st and Monday 2nd September 2024 respectively prior to their 2024 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations qualifier opening match against Comoros Islands on 4th September 2024.

The Scorpions will hold series of training sessions to prepare themselves fit enough for their crunch qualifier opening fixture against Comoros Islands.

Coach Jonathan Mckinstry has assembled a formidable 24-man squad ahead of their crucial 2025 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations qualifier clashes against the Tunisians and Comoros Islands.

Gaffer Mckinstry and his Scorpions charges lost to Gabon 3-2 in their third match of the 2026 World Cup qualifier played in June 2024.

 The Gambia need to beat both Comoros Islands and Tunisia in their two opening qualifier matches to fancy their hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.
