GAMBIA
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON DC

AFRICAN LIBERATION DAY CELEBRATIONS 2011

PRESS RELEASE

11th. APRIL 2011

 

 

The Gambia American Association (G.A.A)
of the greater Washington DC area, host of the annual African Liberation Day
celebrations is pleased to announce that the greatest African Soccer player,
native son of The Gambia and former Servilla (European powerhouse) player,
Alhagi Momodou Njie Biri Biri will be our special Guest of Honor at this year’s
festivities.

 

 

In appreciation of over three decades
of Biri's great services to our country as an active national team player and
the country's football Ambassador, the G.A.A. will award this legendary
sportsman with a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. 

 

 

 

As the first African to play football
professionally in Denmark and in Spain, Biri's contribution to spreading the
goodwill of Gambia, and African, has been immeasurable.  As such the Gambia American Association deems
it fitting, and a national obligation, to honor the greatest footballer that
ever suited in our national colors.

 

 

To this end, we wish to also extend a
cordial invitation to every veteran Gambian Footballer residing in the United
States and beyond who has had the opportunity to play with or against Alagie
Momodou Njie Biri Biri to participate in the Alagie Njie Biri Veterans’ Game
which will take place on Sunday 29th May 2011.  Biri himself will suit up
for this game.  It is sure to be an honor
and memorable experience to see the KING himself once again.



More details will be supplied as time
goes on.
