Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The West Coast Region Zonal Football Championship is set to begin on Sunday, with Foni facing Brufut in the highly anticipated Super Cup final at the Brikama Boxba Mini Stadium.<\/b><\/p>\n

Last season, the two teams clashed in the final across two fixtures after the initial match ended in a 2-2 draw. Foni won the return fixture 2-1, claiming the championship title.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s Super Cup offers contrasting narratives: Foni will aim for a repeat victory, while Brufut will be seeking revenge against last season\u2019s champions.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s 15-team tournament is sponsored by the Brikama Area Council (BAC), which has contributed D500,000 to the competition and provided jerseys for all participating teams.<\/p>\n

The championship is expected to showcase intense rivalry, with teams from across the West Coast Region competing for the title.<\/p>\n
