One of the most exciting football league campaigns ended in July but just few weeks after the completion of the 2023/24 season, The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) announced the competition calendar and registration period for the upcoming 2024/25 season.
In line with best practice, Football House introduced a harmonised national league calendar that determines the plans and activities of each season and was first introduced ahead of the 2014/15 season. Ever since, there is strict adherence to this which has translated to the increase in the level of participation and competition, thus, with the results directly linked to the exponential growth seen by our league despite its current semi-professional status.
In line with this objective, the GFF Competitions Department announced that the upcoming season, as customary, will begin in November 2024 and ends in July of 2025. However, the administrative aspect of the competitions will get underway, two months prior with the draft fixtures to be released in September of this year. After consultations with the stakeholders on the first draft, the final version of the fixtures will be published in the beginning of October.
The competitions itself will begin with the Women’s Super Cup final on November 2, 2024, while the men’s version will be played the following day. The Super Cup final is the meeting of the league and cup winners of the previous campaign to get the new football season underway. The second division league will begin on 6th November, while the First Division League kicks off on 14th November. The Club Management (preseason) Meeting is scheduled for 19th October 2024.
