Kisima Juwara, a concerned football enthustic who is currently on campaign for the U-20 team, has called on all Gambians not to hesitate in financing the National U-20 Youth World Cup to Canada.

In an interview with the Daily Observer, Mr Juwara said every Gambian should be involved in this process by ensuring that the team’s trip to Canada is not delayed. He said the young Scorpions are real ambassadors of the Gambia and have been showing unprecedented victories in international competitions which has made the Gambia a popular and proud nation.

“Our heroes of the nation should not cry again as a result of inadequate finance. We the Gambian people especially those with big companies, should not hesitate by giving a helping hand to this young and determined citizens of the country. One thing in common is to realize that football can be the greatest source of market for companies”.

He urged Gambians to remember the days when Brazil was among the most marginalized and poor countries in Latin America, and now because of sports, they are rich. “They have shown rapid economic development build through football.

Therefore, supporting the sports arena means a great help in the fight against poverty as well as building a strong economy” he said.

He then called on Gambians especially the Serahulli communities to come on board and give a helping hand to the team as President Jammeh and the government alone cannot do all. He also commended President Jammeh for always assisting the team.
