The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) has announced a reduction in ticket prices for the Scorpions’ crucial TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Algeria.

The move comes “after reflection on the appeal made by the members of the public,” the GFF said in a statement. Despite facing “the huge budget for the organisation of the match,” the federation, through its Events Management Committee (EMC), decided to revise the prices.

The new ticket prices are as follows: “VIP D5000, Covered Pavilion D700, Opposite Covered D500, Scoreboard Area D300, and Opposite Scoreboard D300.”

In its announcement, the GFF stressed that it “values the fans and spectators and would like to make the tickets affordable to all to enable them turn up in their numbers to give a befitting home support to the Scorpions after many years of absence from home soil.”
