Head coach of The Gambia U-20 team, Abdoulie Bojang has expressed satisfaction with his team's performance after a 0-0 draw against Benin at the African Games Accra 2023 despite the players' lack of international experience.

Bojang praised the ongoing transition in Gambian youth football, which sees players moving up through the ranks to the senior team.

He acknowledged the team's missed opportunities, attributing them to impatience in the final third. He plans to address this in training.

Team Captain, Mamadou Bah highlighted that they wanted more than a draw but acknowledged that they will return back to training and improve on getting those goals.

Midfielder Bakary Touray was proud to represent his country but regretted missing a scoring chance. He is eager to face host nation, Ghana in the next match.

Debutant Momodou Jatta was excited about his performance and mentioned Mahmoud Bajo as his role model, studying Bajo's videos to improve his game.

The Gambia U-20 team took a day off but will resume training for their upcoming match against Ghana on Tuesday, March 12th, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
