“We had some challenges along the way but were able to conquer them with the help of the Police management who gave us maximum support,’’ coach Boom Sowe also said.

“They created allowances for all unemployed players on monthly basis and also gave them fares every day,’’ she explained.

When asked about The Gambia’s preparation ahead of their maiden Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifiers, coach Sowe said her side is currently preparing physically and mentally for their AWCON qualifiers against Sierra Leone.

‘‘We are playing our first game away to Sierra Leone and are optimistic of a victory against the Sierra Leonean side to face Cameroon in the next round of the competition,’’ she further said.
