The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) informs the general public that the Appeal Committee of the GFF has today sat over the appeal lodged by TMT Academy Football Club against the decision of the Disciplinary Committee made on July 6, 2023.

The Committee also took note of the Club’s public apology issued on their official Facebook page, which it believed is an admission of misconduct. However, the Appeal Committee observed that the conduct by TMT Football Club is contrary to Sections 29, 30, 34 and 35 of the Disciplinary Code of the GFF. Consequently, the Committee has resolved that there is indeed a case to answer against TMT Football Club and that the offense cannot go unpunished.

In this regard, in line with the above-mentioned sections of the Disciplinary Code, TMT Academy Football Club is hereby deducted three points as per Article 35 (1) and (2). The Club is also fined D25,000.00 in line with Article 31(2) of the Code. The Committee also resolved to issue the club with a strict warning letter to desist from future occurrences and to offer an official apology letter to the GFF which should be sent to the Secretariat of the GFF not later than five days, failure of which will attract a further D25,000.00 fine.
