In theory, we were supposed to make the invitation 15 days before the start of the camp, but hopefully tonight I will know more about the agent,\u201d Saintfiet told gambiaff.org.<\/p>\n<p>If he joins the Scorpions, Bakery could be an important reinforcement for the recent AFcon quarter-finalists. The Gambia face Chad on 23rd March in Cameroon for the first leg before the return match scheduled for the 29th of this month in Agadir, Morocco. Both The Gambia and Chad are seeking a place in the group stages of the 2023 Cote d\u2019Ivoire qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
