The Ministry of Youth & Sports, following a thorough assessment meeting with the Executive of the Gambia Basketball Association (GBA), agreed to provide a grant of D441,000 to support the revitalization and strengthening of the basketball league in The Gambia.
This decision came after Hon. Minister Bakary Y. Badjie invited the GBA Executive to his office to discuss strategies for restoring the sport to its former glory.
Additionally, the Ministry allocated D500,000 to facilitate the U21 national team’s participation in the Amilcar Cabral Zone II tournament currently underway in Guinea Bissau.
With this combined financial support totaling D941,000, the Ministry reaffirms its commitment to reviving basketball and enhancing its status in the country.
