Barrow Delivers On D2m Promise To Baby Scorpions

The Gambia Football Federation yesterday received D2 million from the government of The Gambia in fulfilment of a directive from President Adama Barrow to pay bonuses for the Under-17 national team which won the Wafu Zone A championship and qualified for the Afcon in that category.

The official presentation took place at Football House, Kanifing. Though the Gambia government’s support is mainly directed at the senior team, The Scorpions, similar interventions are provided to the junior categories especially when they performed very well in major tournaments. The GFF said the money would go a long way to motivate the team which comprises young players who have never ventured out of the country before the Wafu tournament in Mali.
