The Gambia senior national team is set to play an exhibition football match in January 2024 at the Independence Stadium in Bakau to raise funds for their participation in the 2023 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.

The exhibition match is organised by the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) to raise enough funds for The Gambia’s participation in the continent’s biennial biggest football show-piece to be hosted in Ivory Coast.

The exhibition match will give football enthusiasts in The Gambia the opportunity to watch the Scorpions live at the country’s biggest football arena.

Meanwhile, the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) has budgeted D388 million for The Gambia’s participation in the 2023 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.

The NCC is planning to stage many fund raising shows to raise adequate funds for the country’s participation in the continent’s bi-annual biggest jamboree.
