The
minister of Youth and Sports Alieu K. Jammeh has told journalists that
essential pillars are missing in our Gambian football. Minister Jammeh was speaking at a press
conference on Saturday after the GFA constitutional adoptive congress held at
the Independence Stadium Friendship Hostel hall. “We have not been in the essential place;
because the essential pillars of our football are not there,”
Alieu
Jammeh said “one these essential pillars are our domestic leagues, we want to have
proper and very competitive leagues, we want our communities to go and watch
our national leagues. We should have functional football clubs that can
represent the country at the international competitions”, Jammeh said.
“Other
critical pillars are our schools and community sports, which are lacking, in
those days we used to have very competitive schools and community sports, but
now everything has varnish”.
“To have a strong and efficient secretariat and technical support, if these pillars are in place we can say our football is there. People are not playing a respectable football in the country, that’s why we are beaten in the competitions and everybody at home is disappointed.”
