A philanthropist recently donated football jerseys to Abuko United Female Football Club at a ceremony held at the team’s training ground at Gamtel.

Presenting the jerseys to Abuko United, Jata Sonko said he felt in love with the Abuko based-club and was pleased to be able to support them. He described the assistance as just a start as he wants to build a relationship that can yield fruits.

He thanked the team’s management and staff for their steadfastness towards their work over the years and as well prayed for the club to become a football power house in The Gambia and beyond.

Mr. Sonko explained that his Sweden-based ex-professional footballer friend sent him a lot of jerseys which he has been distributing to different teams in the country.
