Historia
Bajo el nombre de British Gambia, el equipo jugó su primer partido el 9 de febrero de 1953 contra Sierra Leona , ganando 2-1 en casa en un amistoso . [3] En abril de 1963, el equipo participó en el torneo L'Amitié en Senegal, una competencia principalmente para países de habla francesa. Fueron dibujados en un grupo con el equipo amateur de Francia, el Alto Volta (ahora Burkina Faso ) y Gabón . Su primer partido se perdió por 5-1 ante los aficionados franceses el 11 de abril. Gambia empató 2-2 con el Alto Volta el 13 de abril y tuvo el mismo resultado al día siguiente frente a Gabón. Gambia no avanzó a la siguiente ronda.
Después del torneo en Senegal, Gambia no jugó otro partido hasta el 16 de noviembre de 1968, cuando viajaron a Sierra Leona para jugar contra su equipo en un amistoso y perdieron 2-1. Volvieron a jugar en Sierra Leona en el próximo partido de Gambia el 24 de abril de 1971, y los anfitriones ganaron 3-1. El 2 de mayo de 1971, Gambia viajó a Guinea para un amistoso y perdió 4-2. El 14 de mayo de 1972, Gambia regresó a Guinea para su primer partido de clasificación para los Juegos Africanos y perdió 8-0 y fue eliminado.
En 1975, Gambia entró en su primera campaña de clasificación para los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1976 en Canadá . Fueron empatados en un partido de clasificación contra Guinea y perdieron el partido de ida por 1-0 en casa el 27 de abril de 1975. El partido de vuelta se perdió por 6-0 en Guinea el 1 de junio, cuando Guinea avanzó 7-0 en el global.
En agosto de 1975, Gambia entró en su primera clasificación para la Copa Africana de Naciones , con el objetivo de llegar a la fase final de 1976 en Etiopía . Fueron empatados en un partido de clasificación a dos partidos contra Marruecos y perdieron el partido de ida por 3-0 a domicilio el 10 de agosto. Perdieron por el mismo marcador en el partido de casa el 24 de agosto y Marruecos avanzó 6-0 en el global.
After the qualification campaign for the 1976 finals, The Gambia played their first match against a full European side, losing a home friendly 4–1 to Denmark on 30 January 1977.[4]
On 12 October 2002, the team got their biggest ever victory in international competition, a 6–0 victory against Lesotho. [5]
In May 2014, The Gambia was banned from all CAF competitions for two years after deliberately falsifying players' ages.[6]
The nation's fortunes improved in qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Although they failed to qualify, they took it to the final round of games, including drawing twice with African giants Algeria.
On 13 November, in their first Group D match of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification, Gambia defeated Angola 1–3 in Luanda. This was The Scorpions first away win in an AFCON or FIFA World Cup qualifier ever, at their 40th attempt.
