The 60th edition of the highly anticipated Gambia men’s first division league, with Vista Bank and Baluwo as the official partners, will kick off this Tuesday! This historic season, a Diamond Jubilee for Gambian football since the league’s first season in 1965/66, promises an exciting mix of fierce competition, captivating drama, and the pursuit of historic milestones.
The action ignites this Tuesday, but all eyes will undoubtedly be on Real de Banjul as they embark on an audacious quest for their fourth consecutive league title! This isn’t just a chase for silverware; it’s a monumental charge into the annals of Gambian football history. Should the Whites succeed in 2025/26, they would equal Wallidan’s legendary record of 16 league titles.
Week one in itself promises an electrifying start across multiple venues. The season opens with a captivating clash as Hawks and Samger, both returning to the top flight, square off at the Late Ousman Saho field in Old Yundum. Fortune will be hoping to hit the ground running when they travel to the Serrekunda East mini stadium to take on Steve Biko. Tuesday’s fixtures round off with Bombada hosting BST Galaxy at the Box Bar Mini Stadium in Brikama.
On Wednesday, beyond Real de Banjul’s pivotal encounter, TMT will entertain Team Rhino at the Late Ousman Saho field, while Hart FC will host Falcons at the Jarra Soma Mini Stadium.
Week one culminates with Brikama Unite hosting The Gambian Dutch Lions at the Box Bar Mini Stadium. Meanwhile, Medina United travels to the Late Ousman Saho field to take on Gambia Ports Authority, who are making a highly anticipated return from a few years’ exile in the second tier. Notably, Medina United is making its top-flight debut in its short history, adding another layer of excitement.
Therefore, fans across the country can prepare for an exhilarating season brimming with passion, skill, and the relentless pursuit of glory. The GFF welcomes everyone to witness history unfold as the 60th edition of the Men’s First Division League gets underway!
