The Gambia senior national team on Monday 1 September 2025 arrived in Nairobi ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier match away to Kenya on Friday 5th September 2025.

The Scorpions drew 3-3 with Kenya in their global biggest football showpiece qualifier match in March 2025.

Gaffer Mckinstry and his Scorpions will hold series of training sessions in the next few days in Nairobi to prepare themselves fit enough for their clash with the Kenyans.

The Gambia currently sit second-place from bottom in Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with only 4 points in six group matches.

Kenya occupy fourth-place in Group F of the global biggest football showpiece qualifiers with 6 points after six group matches.

The Gambia and Kenya both need to produce miracles to snatch qualification to the 2026 World Cup following their dismal performances in the global biggest football fiesta qualifiers.
