The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has selected a team of Gambian referees, led by Isatou Touray, to officiate the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Togo and Djibouti. This decision underscores the increasing acknowledgement of Gambian referees on the African stage and the ongoing development of female match officials in the country.

Mariama Sowe has been reappointed as interim head coach of Gambia's Women's national football team, replacing Yahya Manneh who moved to the U-17 male team. Sowe, a CAF B license holder who guided Gambia to its first WAFU-A bronze title, will prepare the team for the African Women's Nations Cup qualifiers against Niger in February.
