The discussions centered on intensifying plans for the U-20 World Cup participation included resuming training, local camp and international camp/friendly matches before the World Cup, amongst others.
Meanwhile, The Gambia U-20 team coach Abdoulie Bojang yesterday, Tuesday left Banjul for Bali, Indonesia to attend the FIFA U-20 World Cup draw.
Coach Bojang will be accompanied by the team manager Pa Suwareh Faye and team administrator Modou Jagne.

The draw is expected to take place on March 31.
