Following the protracted dispute of ownership between two competing parties claiming rights over Sere Kunda East Bi Football Club, the Gambia Football Federation wishes to inform the general public and football stakeholders that the matter has now been resolved.

The GFF Executive Committee has forwarded the matter to its Legal Committee for redress upon receiving the claims of rights over the club by two different parties. The Legal Committee no sooner sat on the matter and has concluded its recent meeting as follows:

  1. From the totality of the evidences presented by the parties and the club’s files at the GFF regarding the dispute, it is confirmed that there is only one registered Constitution with the Attorney General’s Chambers for Sere Kunda East Bi Football Club which identifies Mr Joseph Sambou as the CEO of Sere Kunda East Bi Football Club and Mr Alieu Jobe as Secretary General.
  2. Amongst other findings, the Committee has further reviewed all the correspondences between Sere Kunda East Bi Football Club and the GFF and the only person who has been in communication on behalf of the club is Mr Alieu Jobe as Secretary General of the club.

In light of the above circumstances, the Gambia Football Federation has concluded that the proper legal representatives and rights of ownership of Sere Kunda East Bi Football Club are Mr Joseph Sambou as CEO and Mr Alieu Jobe as Secretary General.

The usual cooperation and understanding of the general public is highly solicited in this regard and the club will now go ahead with their League Div Two Fixtures as scheduled by the Competitions Department of the GFF.
