The zones of Bakau, Sukuta, Brufut, Brikama, Serekunda East and Manjai are some of the zones present.

Hussein Diab, the company’s operations director said Nawettan is an important sporting event in The Gambia and since Africell prides itself in bringing people together, there is no better way to do that than going through sports. Lang Tombong Tamba, the third vice president of the GFF, said Africell has always been a fervent supporter of Gambian football. He recalled how through its help, the GFF at a time of financial constraint was able to employ the services of Belgium coach Paul Put, for the Scorpions. “The Gambia wouldn’t have been able to hire a coach without Africell’s support at the time,” he said.
