Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>After securing a ticket to the African Under -20 championship and finishing with a silver medal, the Young Scorpions will return home tomorrow with their heads high.<\/p>\n

Though the boys still rue the defeat to Senegal which dethroned them as champions of Wafu Zone A, they can draw solace from a chance to make amends on a bigger stage in Cairo next year. According to the GFF the team has undergone an exit Covid-19 test yesterday as they prepare for their journey back home tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The team is expected to fly to Senegal from Nouakchott early in the morning and has decided to use a bus back home instead of waiting for 12 hours for a connecting flight to Banjul. The GFF estimated that the team would arrive in Banjul by late evening.<\/p>\n
