Independence Stadium Gets CAF’s Green Light!

After months of hard work and anticipation, there’s finally good news from the Independence Stadium. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has granted temporary approval for the venue following its latest inspection on April 9th, 2025. This means The Gambia can once again play on home soil!

Two crucial fixtures are now set to take place right here at home:
• CHAN 2024 Qualifiers (2nd stage) – The Gambia vs Algeria
• FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers (1st round) – The Gambia vs Côte d’Ivoire

CAF commended the improvements made, especially to the pitch, but noted that more work is needed to meet permanent certification. The Ministry of Youth and Sports has reassured the public that efforts are ongoing to procure the remaining pitch equipment and ensure our stadium meets all standards.

FULL-TIME: BST 3-1 Hawks | GFF First Division - Week 19

BST produced a solid performance on home turf at the Goal Project in Yundum to secure a vital 3-1 win over Hawks FC in Week 19 of the GFF First Division League.

The home side took an early lead in the 14th minute through Bakary Jatta, who fired in a brilliant strike to open the scoring. The first half was full of intensity, with both teams displaying great skill and professionalism as they battled for control.

Hawks responded early in the second half when Abdoul Jatta found the back of the net to level the scoreline. But BST quickly regained their momentum, and in the 63rd minute, Pa Modou sealed the win with a composed finish to make it 3-1.

The result sees BST climb to 8th position on the league table, while Hawks remain in 5th despite the setback

The Gambia's Minister of Information, Dr. Ismaila Ceesay, has clarified the controversy surrounding a leaked memo about per diem payments for security personnel accompanying the President's mother to Dakar for a medical checkup. According to Minister Ceesay, the memo, which sparked public confusion, actually covers three components. “Per diem payments for security personnel escorting the President's mother, travel money for the Secretary General and the travel money for officials from the Office of the President

Dr. Ceesay explained that the memo's wording led to public confusion, but it was a mixed request. This clarification comes amid scrutiny over government spending and per diem allowances.

President Adama Barrow Appoints Momodou Sabally as Deputy National Campaign Manager, Bolstering NPP’s Grassroots Push

In a strategic move to energize the National People’s Party (NPP) ahead of upcoming political challenges, President Adama Barrow has appointed Mr. Momodou Sabally as the Deputy National Campaign Manager, effective immediately. The announcement, made today by Deputy Spokesperson Seedy SK Njie, aligns with Resolution 001/2025, ratified by the NPP Congress, and underscores Barrow’s dual role as President of The Gambia and Secretary General and Party Leader of the NPP.

Sabally’s appointment is poised to amplify the NPP’s grassroots mobilization, leveraging his reputation as a dynamic communicator and seasoned political operative. Party insiders view this as a calculated step to solidify support at the community level, where Sabally’s influence is expected to galvanize members and energize the base.

Sabally, a prominent figure known for his outspoken advocacy and deep ties to Gambian communities, brings a wealth of experience to the role. His appointment signals the NPP’s intent to sharpen its campaign machinery, blending top-down leadership with grassroots vigor.

The Department of Physical Planning and Lands is tearing through Sukuta Salaji—demolishing homes, displacing families, and dismantling entire communities. This isn’t development; it’s destruction.

Where were they when these families were laying foundations and building their homes brick by brick? You can’t stay silent while people invest their life savings, then show up years later to reduce everything to rubble.

In a country where family and community mean everything, this is heartbreaking. When citizens have to run from those meant to protect them, we must ask: where is the justice? So sad. So wrong.

A brutal murder has shaken the community of Sami Pachonki after armed robbers from Senegal allegedly took the life of Lanlo Ceesay, the head of a local thief-identification association.

Ceesay, who played a crucial role in identifying and apprehending criminals operating between Gambian and Senegalese border villages, was reportedly targeted after assisting in the arrest of a senior leader among the robbers. In a swift act of retaliation, the armed criminals wasted no time in killing him, leaving the village in shock and mourning.

Authorities are investigating the incident, as concerns grow over cross-border crime and the safety of local crime prevention groups.

Former soldier Corporal Ebrima Jammeh, who was dismissed from the army after a viral video in which he called for patriotism and urged the business community to lower prices, has today received D72,887 from our charity coordinator.

The funds were raised by Yunus Hydara, a Gambian living in the diaspora.

Jammeh also received D10,000 from some of his former colleagues in the army.

We hope this support will help him start a small business to provide for his family. A heartfelt thank you to Yunus for his efforts in raising the funds, and may God bless all the donors.

Thank you Jammeh for your service! Salute!!! 🇬🇲🇬🇲

This is the official photoshoot photos that are used for the CAF U:17 competition.

After this we will say, we want to compete with the top nations in Africa.

This picture speaks volumes about our unseriousness and unprofessionalism. Our football authorities should wake 🆙

Thank you, Ya Imam, for preaching about the issues affecting our society today. This is what is expected of all religious leaders.

I especially appreciate your Eid sermon, where you courageously addressed the problem of corruption and the responsibility of government officials. Your words serve as a reminder that honesty, justice, and accountability are essential for a just society. May your voice continue to inspire positive change and guide our leaders toward righteousness.

Now we understand why someone in his recent speech was telling us about government in other countries giving sermons to all imams to preach one same thing 😃 😀
You can't control our imams or dictate them on what to say .... Wasalam
