GFF presidential aspirant Sadibou Kamaso has outlined an ambitious plan aimed at strengthening and elevating women’s football in The Gambia, with a focus on inclusion, development, and equal opportunity.
Kamaso’s vision places women’s football at the centre of national football development, with a commitment to full integration into the mainstream structures of the game. He stated that the goal is to ensure fairness, growth, and empowerment across all levels of competition.
A key element of his proposal is for women’s football clubs to become direct members of the Gambia Football Federation (GFF), a move he says would ensure stronger representation and participation in decision-making processes within the sport’s governance.
He also plans to reform the women’s league through the introduction of dedicated sponsorship and improved management structures, aimed at enhancing competitiveness and ensuring financial sustainability for clubs and players.
Kamaso further emphasized the need to expand opportunities for women’s football nationwide, from grassroots to elite level, in order to create a structured pathway for player development and progression.
In addition, his programme includes capacity-building initiatives to increase the number of women in technical and administrative roles within football, including coaches, referees, and officials.
According to Kamaso, the reforms are intended to build a more inclusive football system where talent is nurtured and opportunities are made accessible to all.
