Monika Staab is wrapping up her two months sojourn in the Smiling Coast where she has been attached to the Gambia Football Federation to closely work with our Women’s Football Co-ordinator Sainey Sissohore on the development of the women’s game. She has accomplished a lot of projects ranging from workshops and seminars on Women’s football development.
