According to reports, the Scorpions found no dressing room open for them to change when they arrived at the venue. As a result, the players were forced to change into their training kits on the pitch before beginning their session.
The incident has drawn attention in the build-up to Tuesday’s match at the same stadium. Gambia are preparing for the Group stage qualifier against the Black Stars, who will be looking to recover from their opening defeat to Ivory Coast.
Such organisational issues are not uncommon in African football but remain a source of frustration for visiting teams. The Gambian camp has not issued an official statement on the matter, but the reports have circulated widely on social media.
Ghana host Gambia on Tuesday as both sides continue their campaigns to qualify for the 2027 AFCON finals, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The Black Stars will be without defender Alexander Djiku, who has been ruled out through injury.
The focus now shifts to the pitch, where both teams will aim to secure a positive result in what is expected to be a competitive encounter.
