With such a record-breaking feat, The Gambia have earned a ticket to the Afcon 2023 in Egypt as Champions of WAFU Zone A while New Yundum in the boys category finished runners up in a post-match shootout losing to Guinea Conakry 3-4 after a barren draw at full time, thus missed out an AFCON berth to Egypt
The Gambian girls were on scintillating form throughout the championship with a hundred percent record, beating Guinea Bissau 1-0 in the final game to finish a memorable and record-breaking campaign.
The girls will now represent WAFU Zone A in the African Cup of Nations to be hosted by Egypt in April 2023.
As winners the Gambian Girls will pocket One Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD100,000.00) while the boys will also receive Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars (USD75,000.00) as consolation.
The Gambian team and delegation will return to Banjul today.
