The National Thunder of Equatorial Guinea will play the Scorpions of the Gambia on November 14 in an international friendly.

The match, which will take place at the Marbella football entre stadium in Spain, will be used by Gambia to prepare for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations home qualifier against Algeria in March 2018.

What makes next month’s meeting between the two sides interesting is the fact that Gambia’s former president Yahya Jammeh, who is currently on exile in the Central African country, may be present as his birth country take on his adopted nation.

Meanwhile, one Gambian football fan joked: “I wonder which team Jammeh will be supporting, his old home or his safe home?”

Gambia lie 164 on the FIFA world rankings while Equatorial Guinea Emilio Nsue, lie 135.
