Gambia begin their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign against Somalia on Friday, 25 September, in a match that also marks the Scorpions’ return to their home fortress after several years of closure for renovation work.
The game will be broadcast in Gambia by the national television channel GRTS.
A victory would support McKinstry’s ambition of guiding Gambia back to the Africa Cup of Nations, which will be jointly hosted in 2027 by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
