The Gambia has won the African Under-17 Championship, beating hosts Algeria 3-1 in the final last Thursday.
Ebrima Bojang scored twice during the final bringing his competition tally to four in five matches. The 16-year old is now rumoured to be in talks with Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan.
On the team’s return to The Gambia, tens of thousands of fans were waiting at Banjul Airport and lining the highway to Banjul where the players were met by President Jammeh. The celebration culminated in a night-long party at 22nd July Square in Banjul in honour of the team winning the tournament for the second time.
The Gambia was also awarded the Most Disciplined trophy and the goalkeeper was named as the best goalkeeper having only conceded one goal.
