Gambia winger Mustapha Carayol has recovered from a hip injury that ruled him out of action since November.

The Scorpions international suffered the injury in Gambia’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match against Togo in Lomé last month.

With the sacking of Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager this week still making headlines, Gambia Sports’ Abdoulie Bah has obtained an open letter written three years ago - on the day of his unveiling- by renown Gambian journalist, literary writer and ardent Manchester United fan in the Gambia, Famara Fofana, which might have just prevented the Portuguese manager’s patented third-season meltdown.

Scorpions striker Ali Sowe scored a brace at the weekend for CSKA Sofia who cruised to a 2-1 win over Botev Plovdiv.

The blizzard conditions proved highly beneficial to CSKA Sofia, who claimed the victory thanks directly to the poor condition at the Balgarska Armia Stadium in Sofia.

Former Gambia Football Association (FA) President Seedy Kinteh has been banned four-years by the ethics committee of FIFA for taking cash gifts from former FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam of Qatar.

The football world governing body says its ethics committee found Kinteh guilty on charges of bribery and corruption and accepting gifts before being $200,000 with the ban coming into effect immediately.
