[+] Gambia Ports Authority were established in 1973, taking the core
    of its player base from Real de Banjul; around 1988/89, the club 
    ceased to exist and was replaced by Waterside FC, the club's feeder
    team; in 1996(?), Falcons FC, which won the Banjul Nawettan, were
    transformed to GPA FC, who gained promotion from the 3rd division
    to the 2nd; they returned to the 1st level in or around 1997 and
    won the league in 1998/99.
