The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) has mourned the passing of Ebou Faye, a former Gambia national team player.

Faye played for White Phantoms and Real de Banjul Football Clubs and was known as an excellent right winger during his time with the Banjul-based teams.

He was part of the historic line up that defeated Hafia of Guinea in Banjul in 1973.

Affectionately called Limba, he was a very humble and kind-hearted man who helped many people.

Faye worked for Cooperative Union in Kaur for many years.

President and Executive Committee of the GFF extended its sincere condolences to Faye's family, friends, former teammates and management of the clubs he played for.
