The Gambinos Youth Academy provides the local community with a place where children can play football, learn together and help build the community.
This is all with the aim to be a force for good in their community, both on and off the pitch and to help to promote the values of hard work, team work and professionalism for all the young people of Mandinari.
Please help this great cause and sponsor a youth player, or any of the staff members. Each youth player can be sponsored for £10 home and £10 away per season. All the funds go to the great Gambino cause.
The Gambinos rely on funding to help equip their players, provide transport to fixtures and run their youth academy.

The youth academy run several teams from U9s, U11s, U13s, U15s and above. However, many Gambian children do not know their own age, so often just guess and will play for whatever team is playing on the day.
Below are all the youth players in the squad the play in. Please consider sponsoring a player or two!
