Former national team coach, now National Assembly member for Banjul North Constituency, Honourable Alhagie Sillah, has expressed confidence that the Gambia U-20 team will qualify to the African Youth Championship in Zambia next year.

Speaking in a post-match interview following the goalless draw between the Young Scorpions of Gambia and their Guinea equivalent last Saturday, Sillah  urged the U-20 Coach Omar Sise to work more on his attacking department.

The Banjul NAM, who among several other assignments guided The Gambia to a fourth place finish in the Amilcar Cabral Zone II Championship held in Banjul in the summer of 1997, told this reporter that the boys could have won convincingly if they had converted their chances.

According to him, he is hopeful that the boys will play differently when they travel to Conakry because as he opined, “The risk and the responsibility they took here, they will not take that in Guinea.”

He advised Coach Sise and team to avoid conceding in Conakry and to try to score.

Ebou Faye, second vice president and spokesperson of The Gambia Football Federation also expressed confidence of Gambia’s qualification.
