U – 20 Finally Back
By Modou Nyang
The National U – 20 Football team finally returned home after more than a week delay in Toronto.
The U – 20 team were knocked out of the FIFA U – 20 World Cup by Austria at the first knockout stage of the competition on Wednesday 11 July, after braving out of the group stage overcoming Portugal 2-1 along the way.
After they lost out to the Austrians who also were in the last sixteen of the competition for the first time, the boys flew back to Toronto from Edmonton were the match was played to connect for a flight back home. But the 29 member delegation had to wait a week later to confirm their bookings for the Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta, USA to Dakar Senegal.
The boys have to undergo a three days round trip from Toronto to Atlanta and Atlanta to Dakar and then to Banjul on a Slok Air flight. The ever loyal Scorpions Fan club were at hand to receive the boys, who this time failed to gather the usual heroes welcome that characterise their return from tournaments from the general populace.
Another development with the return of the boys is that Sainey Nyassi and Abdoulie Mansally are said to stay back in the US for trials with an MSL side in Florida. Captain Ken Malamin Jammeh and striker Pa Modou Jange who are presently in town, will return to Toronto for trials too and that the same side in Toronto is interested in the services of Sainey Nyassi and Mansally.
