Good luck to the U-20 in Canada.
Under 20 Leave Finally
By Modou Nyang
The National U – 20 football team has finally left for their long overdue training camp. The team jetted out of Banjul International Airport with Slok Air Yesterday morning at 10am to Dakar, where they will connect to the United States. They are expecting to play few test games before crossing north to Canada for the much awaited U – 20 World Cup.
The U – 20 Scorpions initially had plans for a two month overseas training camp which entailed a month long training in the UK and another in the US, but as matters turned out to be, coach Peter Bonu Johnson unsatisfactorily have to settle for contingency plans. And now the boys had finally left Gambian shores, they will have time to jeer up for the tough challenges ahead of them in the cold white north.
They will engage Mexico in their first match on July 2nd in an appetising encounter that will see the Young Scorpions announce their arrival in the world’s second biggest stage in football, against the side that stole the honours two years ago in the FIFA U –17 Championships in Peru.
Clashes with fellow newcomers New Zealand three days later will follow suit before they complete the group matches against Portugal on July 8th. The first two in the group will qualify to the next round of sixteen. The quarter finals and semi finals will follow before the grand final on July 22nd for the eventual finalist.
