The penultimate match in the Afcon-2024 qualifiers will be played across the continent in mid-June. The Gambia in Group F, plays away to South Sudan in Egypt where the opponents chose to play their home match for lack of a standard stadium in Juba.  The match will be played at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia on Wednesday 14th June at 4pm local time, which is 1pm GMT.

According to the Gambia Football Federation, the technical and playing staff will converge on June 8 to officially start the camp.

Coach Tom Sainfiet yesterday hinted that several players are unavailable for this encounter due to different reasons. They include Noah Sonko, Saidy Janko, Yusupha Njie, Ebrima Darboe, Alasana Manneh, Steve Trawally and Abdoulie Sanyang.
