'GFF silence on league start date is harming football in Gambia'

Nov 24, 2025, 12:50 PM

The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) silence on the new league season start date is actively harming football in The Gambia.

No CAF football for The Gambia: Gambian clubs will miss out on African competitions again by the time the country have a champion, it will be too late to register.

Trials doomed to fail: The country's best talents in the league are heading for January trials in Europe with zero match fitness.

How can players impress without playing competitive football?

The system is setting them up for failure.

Our league isn't professional, so these trials are what teams rely on heavily for a European transfer of their players.

The GFF needs to act now.
