The Gambia National U-20 team today commenced preparations for the upcoming West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Zone A tournament in September, Liberia 2024.
Coach Abdoulie Bojang has assembled a 28-man provisional list scouted from the domestic League for a rigorous screening process. The list will be trimmed down to a smaller number as the team continues to build on its technical prowess ahead of the sub-regional finals.
Bojang will call up additional players from the second-tier league, as well as eligible players from the team that competed at the All-African Games in Accra.
The screening process will be in phases until August when a final squad will be selected to focus on.
Coach Abdoulie Bojang described the early preparations as a positive sign and a source of motivation for the football federation. He urged players to take the opportunity seriously, as they aspire to reach the World Cup finals.
