The Gambia Independence Stadium was on Wednesday, May 7, inspected by the world football governing body (FIFA), and The Gambia football officials are now waiting on FIFA's final inspection report.

The inspection exercise, which is normal routine in FIFA's calendar, was meant to confirm whether the ground is legible to host Scorpions' international matches in the South Africa 2010 World Cup qualifier campaign that doubles as qualifier for Angola 2010 Nations Cup finals.

"The ground was inspected today (Wednesday) by the FIFA inspector,  Ednan Guindy. He will report back to FIFA, who will then write to us informing us of its decision," sources close to Independence Stadium management told Observer Sports yesterday.
