Real de Banjul Football Club can confirm that striker Suwaibou Kebbeh has completed a move to Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby IF.

The 18-year-old forward joins Hammarby on loan with an option to buy, marking an exciting new chapter in his promising career.

Kebbeh departs the City Boys after playing a pivotal role in securing our third consecutive Gambia Football Federation Men’s Division One League title, which was our 15th overall. He was particularly influential during the second half of the season, scoring eight crucial league goals and featuring in every game as we powered toward the championship.

Club President William Abraham praised the young striker’s contribution, stating that: “Suwaibou is a player of exceptional character and talent. His impact in the latter part of the season was vital to our title win and we’re proud to have been part of his development. We believe this move to Hammarby will help him take the next step in his career and we’ll be watching his progress closely. Hammarby is a top club in Sweden and we’re happy that we could provide this chance for him.”

Speaking on his transfer, Kebbeh expressed gratitude to the the City Boys, saying: “I want to sincerely thank everyone at Real de Banjul, the coaches, staff, my teammates and the fans for believing in me. This club gave me the platform to grow and I’ll always be grateful. I wish the team the very best in the CAF Champions League qualifiers.”

Everyone at Real de Banjul FC extends their best wishes to Suwaibou Kebbeh as he embarks on this new journey in Sweden.

We look forward to seeing his continued growth and success at Hammarby IF.
