Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Scorpions Captain Pa Modou Jagne is to announce his retirement from the Gambia national team today, on Monday 7th January 2022. The 32-year-old guided the Gambia to its first ever Africa Cup of Nations where they finished in the quarterfinals after being eliminated by the host Cameroon.<\/p>\n

The former Gambia Ports Authority (GPA) player, Nda as he fondly called, has been capped with the Gambia U17, U20, and the senior national team. He made an accumulation of 39 appearances for the Scorpions.<\/p>\n

Pa Modou Jagne started representing the Gambia national teams from the youth (U-17 and U-20) before eventually going to the senior national team in 2008.<\/p>\n

He was part of the Gambia\u2019s team that won the Africa U-17 tournament in 2005 and played in FIFA U-17 World Cup 2005. He was also part of The Gambia\u2019s U-20 team that won bronze in 2007 African U-20 tournament and participated in FIFA U-20 World Cup 2007.<\/p>\n

Nda who led the Scorpions senior team to their maiden Afcon appearance in Cameroon this year played most of his professional career at club level in Switzerland with FC Wil, St. Gallen, FC Sion, FC Zurich and now FC Dietikon respectively.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, rumour has it that Ebrima Sohna, Scorpions midfield will also consider retiring from the national team after also guiding them to their dream Afcon tournament.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Ebrima Sohna said he is retiring from the national team to give chance to the young ones to play for their country after he has achieved his dream of taking the country to the Afcon tournament. According to Sohna, playing at the Afcon for the Gambia was his dream and it\u2019s achieved.<\/p>\n
