Last night, the team was received by President Barrow who handed over the traditional battle flag to the team with words of encouragement and inspiration.
Meanwhile, the government has released D90M to fill the funding gap of The Gambia’s Afcon programme, making it possible for the National Coordinating Committee, NCC, to hit its D117M target.
