Even though the Scorpions’ run in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations may be over, Gambian supporters will be remembered in Côte d’Ivoire for their show of admirable sportsmanship by tidying up the stadium following their country’s loss to Cameroon.

This civic duty is not a one-time event; instead, Gambian supporters have made it a custom to clean up the stadium following each Gambia game. Even though they were disappointed by their team’s loss, the Gambian fans showed pride in their country by working together to keep the stadium tidy.

These fans’ dedication to leaving the venue spotless shows a great sense of camaraderie and respect for the athletic setting. This custom not only exemplifies the solidarity and pride that Gambian supporters have in their team, but it also serves as an inspirational model for sports fans around the world.

The acts of these fans during the Total Energies AFCON 2023 serve as a reminder that true victory is found not only in the result of the game but also in the positive influence that fans can have on the sporting event.
