Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>GIRLS AT WAR: GAMBIA TO SEE OFF SIERRA LEONE MONDAY The Gambia national women\u2019s football team will continue its quest to follow their male compatriots to a maiden Africa Nations Cup appearance. The male team, the Scorpions, will play in the finals in Cameroon in January while \u2018The Girls\u2019 started their qualifiers on a strong footing beating Sierra Leone 2-0 away at the beginning of the week.<\/p>\n

The return-leg of this first round qualifiers is on Monday at the Independence Stadium, without spectators of course, in observance of Covid- 19 protocols. With a solid 2 away goals in their kitty, the Gambian girls and Coach Mariama Bom Sowe are hopeful of eliminating Sierra Leone to reach the second and final round of the qualifiers to the tournament in Morocco next year. \u201cWe played better in the first leg and \u2018The Girls\u2019 surprised even themselves to achieve such a vital away win. There is no doubt they can finish the job at home on Monday,\u201d women football official, Momodou Demba told The Standard. He said the result against Sierra Leone at senior level, coupled with The Gambia Under-20 girls\u2019 elimination of Burkina Faso in the world women\u2019s Under-20 world cup qualifiers, are strong signals that women\u2019s football is growing in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fighting on two fronts in this war of girls. We want to reach the women\u2019s Afcon in Morocco next year and the Under-20 World Cup in Costa Rica. Both are doable with hard work,\u201d Mr Demba concluded.<\/p>\n
