The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) confirmed that Gambia’s 2023 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations home leg qualifier against South Sudan will be played on Saturday 4th June, 2022 at the Stade Lat dior in Thies, Senegal.
“The delegation that went to Senegal for logistical arrangements have met with the Senegalese Minister of Sports and Senegalese Football Federation and have discussed about all the elements of the organisation of the match, i.e. security, protocols, and spectator entrance on the match day,” said GFF in a statement on Friday.
The Football House revealed that the newly built Senegalese stadium, Stade Abdoulie Wade is not available for The Gambia because both The Gambia and Senegal are scheduled to play on the same date.
“Senegal’s National Team will be playing on the same day as The Gambia, adding that thus, naturally, the Stade Abdoulaye Wade cannot be at the country’s disposal.”
The visiting Team to Senegal comprised of the 2nd Vice President Mr. Ebou Faye as Head of GFF Competitions; Mr. Lamin M. Jassey, the General Secretary; Mr. William Abraham, the Chairman of the Events Management Committee, and Mr. Ebou Secka the Program Manager for National Sports Associations at the National Sports Council.
