The two countries are to play home and away matches in November but with both not having Caf approved stadia, their respective football federations have made proposals to Fifa on their desired dates and venues.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now left to Fifa to look at our proposals and decide,\u201d said Ebou Faye, head of competition and second vice president of the GFF.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the GFF has already submitted a proposal or proposals for the date and venue of its home match, but he cannot reveal the exact details.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt would not be long though before Fifa decides on the date and venue,\u201d Mr Faye assured.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there have been strong speculations that the Gambia\u2019s home match would be played in Morocco as has been the case in the recent past.<\/p>\n
