The Ministry of Youth & Sports (MOYS) has provided a total of D8.4 million to Gambian sports in the month of July 2025. This support has helped in the country recently achieving its highest ever medals at international competitions and being crown champions in several sports, thus propelling the dreams of our young athletes. The breakdown of the disbursement is as follows:
1. D7 million went to the Gambia National Olympic Committee for Gambia’s participation in the African School Games — featuring basketball, beach volleyball, athletics, long jump, wrestling, judo, and swimming.
2. D1 million was given to the Gambia Basketball Association for the Zone 2 Afrobasket Ball Championship in Guinea.
3. D300,000 supported the Berewuleng Football Club female team in the CAF WAFU A African Club Championship.
4. D100,000 to celebrated Gambian students in Medina who made us proud by winning the Student World Cup in Saudi Arabia!
From the courts to the tracks, the sandy beaches, and even academic arenas, Gambians are making waves, and the government, through the Ministry of Youth & Sports is making sure our champions have the support they deserve.
