Looking at the recent brilliant performance by Gambian professional and home-based players, the country’s national team is ready to qualify for 2012 African Cup of nation to be played in Gabon and Equitoral Guinea, the president of the Gambia football Association Seedy Kinteh has said.

Seedy Kinteh was speaking to journalists on Wednesday at the independence stadium after the Gambia’s 3-0 victory against DR Congo as part of their preparations ahead of Namibia clash in September.

“The Gambia can challenge any team at any level despite low world ranking in FIFA,” said the GFA boos.

Seedy Kinteh described Gambia’s win over Congo as important not only for the game against Namibia, but it will also count in the next FIFA Coca Cola ranking.

Seedy sent a strong message to Gambians, urging them to stop castigating the team and come together to show moral support to the team in order to achieve what we want.

He added: “If we work together, we will win and qualify to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea come 2012.”
