The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) presidential aspirant, Sadibou Kamaso on Thursday officially unveiled members of his executive committee of the ‘Team Restore Confidence’ during a ceremony held at a local hotel in Senegambia.

Mr. Kamaso, who was the campaign manager for Team Kaba four years ago announced his intention to run for the GFF presidency against his former boss five months ago.

During the lunch of his manifesto in March, Mr. Kamaso noted that his vision was to uplift and preserve a pre- eminent standard of football in The Gambia, place The Gambia football governing body on a pedestal for technical, structural and financial self-sustenance.

He also added that his mission would be to stimulate interest and passion for an increased stakeholder’s participation in order to bring football and its benefits to the doorstep of every Gambian.

The members of ‘Team Restore Confidence’ are 1st Vice President, Arthur Olu Ashcroft; 2nd Vice President, Choro Mbenga; 3rd Vice President, Muhammed Ceesay.

Exco members are: Retired Referee, Commissioner Ansumana Kinteh; Amie Jeng Njie; Pa Alieu Ceesay and Adama Jarju respectively. Co-opted members are: Victor Fajara Sambou and Ebou Sillah.

Shortly after unveiling his executive members, Mr. Kamaso said his team was a group made up of people of football enthusiasts with a clear and principle agenda to restore the substantial erosion of confidence that they face in their football.

“The Restore Confidence team has the objective to focus on four key areas and one of them is rebranding and remodeling The Gambian Football Federation institution. Wherever you go and call yourself an executive of GFF, they look at you as an individual who is corrupt or an individual who is involved in issues that do not conform with the ethics of football.”

He added that their second focus would be to increase and solidify the relationship between the GFF leadership, general stakeholders and the public.

“The third focus will be infrastructural development of international standards. The fourth point will be the judicious generation of income and spending of savings,” he revealed.

“We have gotten to a point where people do not believe in the Federation, more so, to invest in it. My team and I would ensure that all those changes you are yearning for; will come right after we are elected into office on 27th August."

According to him, their objective is to change the mindset of Gambian football with a key focus on organizational effectiveness, accountability and transparency.

Meanwhile, the GFF election nominations began last Thursday, with the election slated for Saturday 27th August 2022.
