The Gambia Football Federation has said the most followed Gambian football fiesta will not be held this year because there is limited time available.

According to the GFF statement, the decision to cancel the championship is “necessitated by the fact that the progress of competitions in the various Nawettan Centres are very much behind schedule.”

“As we are already in October, there is hardly any time available in the football calendar to complete the Nawettans and squeeze in the Super Nawettan at the same time, without affecting the commencement of the league. The league is expected to get underway in November,” it added.
