Gambia’s young Scorpions forward, Adama Bujang, is eager to take on the Nigerian Eagles.
Coach Abdouli Bujang’s team will face the Flying Eagles in the semi-final match at Cairo International Stadium on Monday night.
The Senegal Cubs will face Tunisia in the second semi-final match.
Gambia crushed newcomers South Sudan 5-0 in the quarter-finals to book a date with the Flying Eagles.
The win ensures that the small West African country will be among Africa’s four representatives at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2023 in Indonesia.
With their first goal already accomplished, Bujang said that beating the Flying Eagles and claiming the title is now the next goal for his team.
“We already qualified, now we are looking for the gold medal but we have to win the match against Nigeria so we can reach the final and win the gold,” Bujang was quoted by CAFonline as saying.
“As I said earlier, we have to take it up every match. The next most important match is Nigeria.”
