The vehicles were received by the GFF President Lamin Kaba Bajo during a brief handover ceremony held at the Football House in Kanifing.
The vehicles were acquired to directly support and strengthen the seven Regional Football Associations (RFAs) and Women’s Football Unit, enhancing mobility and operational efficiency for grassroots football development nationwide.
Upon receiving the keys, President Bajo described the handover as "another historic moment for Gambian football," noting that the acquisition is part of his executive’s on-going commitment to easing movement and logistical challenges for regional administrative bodies and women’s football.
“It has been part of our long-term plan to provide the necessary tools to all structures of the Federation to make their work easier," President Bajo stated.
"These eight vehicles - seven for the Regional Football Associations and one for Women’s Football - would go a long way in facilitating their movement, helping them organise regional competitions, and efficiently handling day-to-day operations," Mr Bajo said.
He recalled that a few years ago, the Federation purchased and handed over motorcycles to the RFAs to assist their local operations.
He highlighted that the procurement of these new 4x4 vehicles was made possible through the FIFA Forward 3.0 programme and expressed gratitude to Asata Investment for fulfilling the contract promptly.
A representative speaking on behalf of Asata Investment thanked the GFF leadership for their trust and confidence, assuring that the vehicles supplied are brand new, latest-model units built to handle all terrains across the regions.
The ceremony was attended by the GFF Executive Members Col. Musa M. Jammeh, John Frank Mendy; General Secretary Lamin M. Jassey, senior staff members including Sang John Ndong, Baboucarr Camara, Ismaila Njie, Philomina Jatta and Haja Kora, members of the GFF Procurement Committee, and representatives of the media.
