Ghana’s Kwesi Nyantakyi is the interim head of WAFU<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The West African regional tournament, the Wafu Cup, has been hit by a further withdrawal of one of its participants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The eight-team event is now down to just five contenders, following the decision by The Gambia to pull out.<\/p>\n

The Scorpions are the third side to withdraw from the event, following Mali and Senegal’s decisions not to take part.<\/p>\n

None of the three teams travelled to Abeokuta in Nigeria, where the tournament is taking place.<\/p>\n

The Gambia’s failure to turn up means there are only two teams remaining in Group B – Ghana and Togo, who play later on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In the three-team Group A, hosts Nigeria will play Niger, while the remaining team in the pool, Liberia, have a rest day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
