"Thanks to The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) for making sure they played the national women league every year.

"This shows a significant development when it comes to women football development in the Gambia," Sissohore said.

Asked about the development of women football in the country, she said it is developing but that there are changes in the league.

"Things are changing because when I was playing football for The Gambia Police Forces formally (Interior), we were champions for several years," she pointed out.

She revealed that Red Scorpions have now dominated with Berewuleng also coming up.

She went on to say that the likes of Raptim, City Girls are also improving.
