Gambia's national women's team advances in Afcon qualifiers, men's U-17 team to compete in Morocco, and CHAN-Gambia prepares for Caf CHAN qualifiers against Gabon, showing renewed enthusiasm in Gambian football across multiple categories.

CHAN-Gambia national team, comprised of local-based players, trains for upcoming play-offs under Coach Alagie Sarr with 40 players selected from GFF leagues, assisted by coaches Jane Joof and Alieu Jagne from Fortune FC and Medina United.

The Gambia's national football team, the Scorpions, will play their 2026 World Cup qualifier matches against Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire in Abidjan due to the Independence Stadium not being approved before March 17. The decision to host the home match in Abidjan was made to reduce travel and logistical costs. This comes as a disappointment for Gambians who were hoping to see their national team play at home after a five-year wait.
