CAF THREATENS SLFA ACTING PRESIDENT

The confederation of Africa football threatened the Acting president of the Sierra Leone football association  who attempted  to attend the confederation of Africa football 12th extraordinary general  Assembly which was held in the city of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt last month where CAF elected their   representative to the  football governing body FIFA executive council.

According to the acting president of the Sierra Leone football association Brima Mazola Kamara he was received by CAF official who refused to identify himself and he was in the company of some CAF security. 

Mr. Kamara said on arrival they handed him his return ticket and told him that CAF General Secretary has instructed them to send him back to Freetown. 

“The reasons for the order for my abrupt return was not disclosed to me by CAF. They only  said  they have negative information about me from Freetown”

Brima Mazola Kamara continued that he asked the security to help him speak with the CAF general secretary but he was refused the opportunity.

“They threatened to treat me like a criminal if I proceed to attend the congress” said Mazola.

When asked if he contacted the set aside president of the Sierra Leone football association Isha Johansen who is also an executive member in CAF for assistance, the acting president Mazola said he had been advised by the Anti-Corruption Commission of Sierra Leone not to deal with her.

The acting president of SLFA was former Sierra Leone’s football international, he was the first Sierra Leone player to play professional football outside the country.

Brima Mazola Kamara is one of the vice presidents of SLFA. He is in the acting capacity of the president of the football association because of corruption charges against the substantive president Madam Isha Johansen who is also the head of women football in Africa and member of the confederation of Africa football executive.

By Muctar Koroma Sierra Leone's male U-20 team, the Shooting Star, on Friday November 29, 2019 fulfilled their twin ambition with their final group game at the ongoing WAFU U20 championship. The shooting stars secured a 3-2 win over hosts Guinea in the keenly contested game played in Conakry. Goals from Daramy Sesay and double from Suffian Kalokoh turned out to be a perfect  Friday’s encounter as the Shooting Stars zoomed into the semi-final of the  West Africa football union  U20 Championship. Before Friday’s game, Coach Abubakarr Toasta Kamara had confessed that the game against the host was most crucial for the shooting stars who earlier defeated Mauritania and lost to Senegal in their opening match. “This is our most important match of the tournament so far. There would be no looking back. We are playing the host team but our minds are made up to go all out. Only a win can guarantee us a place in Semifinal. Said coach Toaste “Of course, we noticed a few th...

Lack of home football league in Sierra Leone, has not stopped the head coach of Leone Stars John Keister, from including 10 home-based talents in his 35 man provisional squad, ahead of the African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) fixtures with Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya. Sierra Leone won her first AFCON match against Kenya in Freetown, which was a big boost to kick-start the tight fixtures in September and October. The tie against the “Walias” of Ethiopia would be Keister’s second match in charge of the Leone Stars; a duel many football enthusiast believe, Keister’s boys would emerge with 3 points, after a decade and half without winning an away match.     A die-hearted supporter of Leone Stars described the show down with the Walias as a MUST win encounter, if the country is serious about qualifying for Cameroon 2019; calling on the gaffer to have Kei Ansu Kamara and Mohamed Buya Kamara as striking partner – both of whom have been in sparkling goal scoring form this season.  ...
