The quartet are the President of the Gambia Football Coaches Association and Head Coach of Africell-Sait Matty, Pa Suwareh Faye, Secretary-General, Ebou Faye, Treasure and Head Coach of Red Scorpions, Desamba Mbenga and Mariama Sowe, Head Coach of Interior female team.
In an interview with Observer Sports, Coach Pa Suwareh Faye, said their relations with the Swedish counterparts started with the assistance of the erstwhile GFA Second Vice-President, Mr Ebou Ndure and one Pa Musa Fofana, a former Gambian international footballer.
