GFA Normalisation Committee mandate extend, what does it mean to Gambian football?

The World Football Governing Body FIFA has decided to extend mandate of GFA Normalisation Committee until June this year. This development came days after the regional league clubs reacted strongly to the FA for describing them as ghost clubs and are not qualified to vote in the congrss. What does the extention of the normalisation committee’s mandate mean to Gambian football. MarketPlace sports went to the street to sound the opinions of football enthusians in the Grater Banjul Area.

Speaking to was one Baba Saidykhan of Bakau Kachikally, said the decision is best know to FIFA and maybe Gambians should respect it, if it is the best way for our football. “ For me i have no personal problem as to any how the authorities responsible of running football in the country want to run it. But also those in concern should not take the opportunity of capitalising this situation as a means of stating for good. All of us as Gambians should think of putting our heads together to put solutions to this problem happening in our football irrespective of age  or position, what is important here is the brilliant ideas form people that can surely move the country football further”. Said Saidykhan.
