The Gambia Football Federation GFF has announced that the national team will travel to Morocco for a series of friendly matches in the upcoming FIFA international window November 10 -16. According to Football House in a statement published on its website, Morocco is invoking a bi-lateral agreement with the GFF and is keen to receive The Gambia in friendlies as they prepare to host the CHAN 2018 tourney. Other nations with similar agreement with Morocco such as Mauritania, Niger, Malawi, Liberia, Rwanda and Togo could also be invited at the same time which could avail the Scorpions opportunities for more friendlies. The Scorpions will be based in Marrakech.

Meanwhile Coach Sang Ndong has announced a 23-man squad that will take part in these series of matches. Ndong has maintained many old faces but has also injected some new ones. Raymond Mendy of CS Sfaxien and Mohamed Badamosi of FUS Rabat are new while Ablie Jallow of FC Metz has had his debut delayed due to his current injury. However, Ebou Adams, on loan to Shrewsbury Town from his parent club Norwich City, is another new face, which adds a bright and youthful look to the Scorpions squad.
