In a spirited show of support, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, through the National Sports Council, has once again stepped in to ensure the senior Scorpions feel the power of their fans during the critical Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Comoros at Stade Municipale de Berkane. Through the Gambian Embassy, the Ministry has disbursed €3,500 to Hon. Saikou Marrong to mobilize fans, following the vibrant backing that fueled the team in their last encounter.
Dedicated supporters will embark on an eight-hour journey from Rabat to Berkane, ready to energize the stadium with their passion. Their presence in the stands is expected to provide a significant morale boost for the Scorpions as they strive for victory on foreign soil.
This financial commitment underscores the Ministry’s recognition of the essential role Gambian supporters play in inspiring the team, especially during challenging away fixtures. The traveling fans are anticipated to recreate a home-crowd atmosphere that could make all the difference in this decisive match.
As the Scorpions prepare to fight for their place in AFCON, the support of these fans will serve as a powerful reminder of the nation’s backing, embodying the pride and passion of Gambian football.
