APS Wallet has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gambia Football Federation (GFF), marking a significant step toward the modernisation and sustainable development of Gambian football.

As part of the agreement, APS Wallet will invest One Million Dalasi in support of the men’s Second Division League, which has now been officially renamed the GFF/APS Wallet Second Division League, underlining the company’s commitment to strengthening football at the grassroots level.

Beyond sponsorship, the partnership includes the rollout of secure e-ticketing solutions for all GFF matches, alongside the deployment of APS Enterprise, a digital payment and financial management system designed to enhance transparency, efficiency and good governance within football administration.

Speaking at the official signing ceremony, Kissima Tunkara, Business Development and Marketing Manager of APS Wallet, said the collaboration is more than a sponsorship deal.

“This partnership goes beyond sponsorship. It is a strategic alliance that aligns technology with football to promote transparency, efficiency, and sustainable development across Gambian football,” Tunkara said. Kissima Tunkara added afterwards “By investing in the Second Division League and introducing digital solutions, we are helping to build strong foundations for long-term success in both football and national development.”.

On the part of the Gambia Football Federation, President Lamin Kaba Bajo said the partnership will enable the Federation to maximise gate takings at matches, minimise cash handling and ensure proper financial payment records for match-day expenses, particularly during match-day operations.

Lamin M. Jassey, the GFF Secretary General echoed similar views, noting that the partnership will strengthen financial management, enhance transparency and modernise football administration across GFF competitions.

The collaboration is expected to lay the foundation for a modern, accountable and commercially sustainable football ecosystem, benefiting clubs, players, administrators, and fans across The Gambia.
