| Gambia fans in Azerbaijan women U-17 world cup |
Mr Saidy was speaking on Tuesday on a
bus specially hired to transport 50 Gambian fans to the Delga stadium in Baku
where The Gambia had its second game against the USA.
The 50 fans, who were ferried by
President Yahya Jammeh to cheer up the Scorpions in the Azerbaijan games, were
told by Tombong to restrain from any manner of indiscipline and serve as good
ambassadors for The Gambia.
“We should all be role models and
remember that The Gambia is our homeland which is known for its respect,” Mr
Saidy told eagerly awaiting fans on the bus.
He further said His Excellency the
president and all the Gambian people back home have great trust and confidence
in us, which is why the president took out his own money to sponsor us to come
to Azerbaijan and support the girls, and that nobody should therefore behave
otherwise.
He further advised the fans to comport
themselves as Gambians to leave good name in the World Cup since, according
him, it is not our first time in a World Cup event.
Mr Saidy finally told the fans to beat
the drums and support as normal but take any result that comes Gambia’s way
after the match.
