An Air Peace
airline flight conveying the team from Lagos landed in Banjul at just after
11am Gambia time (12 noon Nigeria time). The contingent, led by the Chairman of
NFF Women’s Football Committee, Hon. Ayo Omidiran has since settled down at the
Metzy Residence Hotel and the team had a first training at the FIFA Goal
Project in Banjul on Monday evening.
Wednesday’s
match will take place at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
Gambia’s
senior girls edged Burkina Faso in the earlier round, with the Super Falcons
(eight-time champions) drawing bye, and the reward for the Gambians is a
two-legged affair with the reigning champions that will determine which of the
two teams will be at the final tournament in Ghana later in the year.
