The two players were registered with the club in the previous season.<\/p>\n<p>The Federation explained that, despite providing training and technical guidance to clubs on activating player profiles for the new season, the required renewals were not completed. As a result, Colley and Jallow, together with Fatou Jammeh, Janne Krubally, and Rugiyatou Cham, were not included on the official 2025 registration list.<\/p>\n<p>The GFF emphasized that the FIFA Connect System is the mandatory global platform for player registration, and that clubs are responsible for ensuring full compliance with the system and the Federation\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>The matter has been referred to the GFF\u2019s competent judicial and organising bodies for further review. The Federation stated that it will consider match officials\u2019 reports and all administrative evidence submitted by the parties before reaching a decision, in line with the GFF Constitution and League Regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The GFF reaffirmed its neutrality in the case and said it would make no further comment until a final determination is made, while thanking the football community for its patience and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
