The Under - 20 National team is camping at the Paradise Suites hotel in Kololi.

In what could be described as the beginning of a full scale preparation for the U - 20 World Cup in Canada, a total number of 24 players currently training with the team are part of the camp.

A three weeks training camp in the UK where they will play some test matches and another week in the United States before moving to Canada is scheduled to follow. The foreign based trio of Ousman Jallow, Tijan Jaiteh and Ebrima Sohna are expected to join the team in England.

The National Under - 20 team should have been in overseas training camp a long time ago but a lack of funding for the program submitted by the coach Bonu Johnson Led technical team, forced them to engage local clubs to prepare for the second biggest football tournament in the world.

The Young Scorpions are pooled against Mexico, New Zealand and Portugal in group C. They will play their first match against Mexico on July 2nd before returning to action three days later against New Zealand before taking on European giants, Portugal in the final match of the group. The first two in the group progresses to the first knockout stage (round of sixteen).
