At least twenty-five Gambian fans will leave Banjul today for Nouachott, Mauritania, to cheer up the Gambia under 20 team in the second leg of the qualifiers for 2009 Rwanda under 20 championship finals.

Bai Cham, president of the National Scorpions Fans Club, told Observer Sports that the Gambia Football Association has provided a coaster to convey the supporters to cheer up the team in the West African country.

Italian coach Lorenzo Rubinazzi and his 18-man squad safely arrived in Mauritania on Wednesday ahead of the return leg which is scheduled for Saturday, July 12.

The skipper and only foreign player in the Darling Scorpions line-up, Pa Modou Njie, scored a last-gasp goal to aid Gambia to a 1-0 victory over the visitors in the Banjul first-leg tie two weeks back, and the 2007 African bronze medalists only need to avoid a defeat on Saturday in order to progress to the next stage of the qualifiers where they will meet either Ghana or Libya.
