Adama Bojang, talented young Gambian striker, says he is happy to have received his first call-up to the nation’s senior football team.

Bojang, who made a name for himself at the African U-20 and World Cup U-20 championships, is highly rated to be the country’s future forward player.

He currently plays for French first tier team Stade Reims after signing a five-year contract recently. 

Speaking to GFF on his call to the senior football team, the young lad said: “I see everyone is happy for me and the nation. It’s a great feeling for me to be part of the group [senior team] for the first time.”

“It’s really an amazing step for me coming from the U-17, U-20 to the senior team is great. Everyone feels hungry to be part of the senior national team now. And I think it will be a great motivation because now we have taken the first step to be part of the [Gambia] senior national team as young players. I think it will be a big motivation for the young players.”

“The national team has given me much in my [football] career from the U-17 to the U-20. Because it’s the national team where I showcase my talent to sign [the] chance to sign my first professional contract. So, it’s amazing to have the first call up to the [senior team],” he added.
