The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) has revised the suspensions of players and officials from Greater Tomorrow Women’s Football Club following an Appeals Committee review.
The original three-year suspension was imposed by the GFF Organising Committee after players and officials refused to participate in scheduled national league matches. An investigation was launched to determine the reasons behind the boycott, despite repeated directives from the club’s management.
The Appeals Committee found that several players and technical staff had failed to comply with internal decisions, including the dismissal of Head Coach Peter N. Mendy and Assistant Coach Abdou Jallow. The Committee described the boycott as “regrettable and unacceptable,” noting its disruptive impact on both the club and the competition.
Following the review, the Committee modified the sanctions as follows:
- Players: Suspensions reduced from three years to one year, covering the 2025/26 season.
- Head and Assistant Coaches: Mendy and Jallow’s three-year suspensions remain unchanged.
- Other Technical Staff: Suspensions set at one year, covering the 2025/26 season.
The GFF reiterated its commitment to developing women’s football in The Gambia and stressed the importance of discipline and adherence to football regulations.
