Today, at the home of Gambian football, the National Technical Training Centre, in Old Yundum, a recently appointed technical team led by assistant Coach Lamin Sanneh, began a weeklong screening of the players at the National Technical Training Centre in Old Yundum.
The screening was initially led by the Gambia Football Federation’s regional coaches nationwide, with each regional coach identifying the best players in their respective regions through our FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS).
The players are now the ones being further screened by the U-17 coaches before a final squad would be selected for the Senegal tournament. Thirty (30) players identified from the West Coast Region were screened
In the absence of the Head Coach Yahya Manneh, who’s currently with the U-20 in Liberia, his assistant Lamin Sanneh was also in Jarra Soma over the weekend to scout more players during the Gambia Secondary Schools football finals.
The Gambia have drawn against the host Senegal, Liberia, and Guinea in Group A of the 2024 West Africa Football Union (WAFU-A) U-17 qualifying tournament to be held in Thies, Senegal.
