‘Football is life’ – The Gambian administrator on a mission

Sainey Sissohore Mboge was labelled a “bad influence” as a child, just because she wanted to play football.

But now the Gambian, who represented her country at a youth World Cup, is having the last laugh, having built herself a successful career in the game. And she’s using that position to help young girls who also love to play.

Filmed by Joshua Akinyemi

Edited and produced by Ian Williams and Isaiah Akinremi
