Ahead of the forth coming West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Zone A U-17 tournament scheduled to take place in Sierra Leone 2020, the Gambia National U17 Team (Baby Scorpions) have over the weekend conducted the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test.
Thirty (30) players underwent the test conducted at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH) in Banjul facilitated by the GFF Medical Committee. The test is mandatory for all participating countries and thus all the players listed on the squad were tested on the wrist to ascertain their rightful ages. Another MRI test is expected to be held in the coming days before the team departs for Freetown.
Coach Abdoulie Bojang described the test as “very important for all the players so that when the results are out we will be able to concentrate on the ones that have passed through“, he noted.
