TMT FC’s central defender, Saikou Barrow, has been named in The Gambia’s U23 CHAN Preliminary Squad following his impressive performances in the GFF Men’s Division 1 League.
The former Gunjur United defender has quickly adapted to life in the top flight with TMT FC, showcasing solid defensive skills, composure on the ball, and strong leadership at the back. His consistent displays have earned him recognition at the national level, as he now gets the opportunity to fight for a place in the final squad for the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers.
Barrow’s journey has been one of determination and steady progress. Having previously played for Gunjur United in the second division, his move to TMT FC has proven to be a successful step in his career. His call-up highlights the club’s growing reputation for nurturing talent and providing a platform for players to shine at the highest level.
With the CHAN tournament exclusively for players competing in their domestic leagues, Barrow will now have the chance to prove himself in training and potentially earn a spot in the final squad. His inclusion in the preliminary list is a testament to his hard work and potential as one of the country’s rising defensive talents.
As the national team prepares for the qualifiers, all eyes will be on Barrow and his fellow squad members to see who will make the final cut. If he continues his fine form, he could play a key role in The Gambia’s quest for CHAN qualification.
The U23 CHAN squad will undergo intensive training sessions before the final selection is made. Barrow will be eager to make an impact and cement his place among the best home-based players representing the nation.
His rise serves as inspiration for young players in The Gambia’s domestic league, proving that hard work, discipline, and consistent performances can open doors to greater opportunities.
In a related development, Dawda Darboe, alias Viper, former Gunjur Utd goal poacher and now at Fortune FC, has also been called up to the U23 provisional CHAN squad.
