Barring any last minute change, the Gambia is set to be featured in its first ever Africa Cup of Nations tournament next week.
Cameroon is hosting the continent’s biggest football competition with 24 games from January 9 to February 6, 2022 after one year delay due to the Coronavirus global pandemic that has infected over 4 million people and claimed 100,00 lives in Africa.
The Gambia is zoned in Group F alongside Tunisia, Mali and Mauritania. The Scorpions will play their first-ever Afcon match on 12 January 2021 against Mauritania in Limbe.
