Freetown City Football Club is not for sale

By Muctar Koroma.

The Head of Media for Freetown City Council Football Club (FCFC) Abdullah Bundu, has on behalf of the Management of the Club disclosed that there are long term plans to help the club's progress and development and thus, there is no intention in selling the club in the immediate future. 

Bundu’s comment follows speculation that the club is on the verge of a takeover from an unnamed buyer. He further stated that, based on what he has seen in club's progress so far, he believed they’re in for the long-term. "With regards to offers, my understanding is that there have been no discussions with any individual or institution", he continued.
 
Bundu accepted that there were challenges’ with the running of the club but the Management headed by the Mayor of the Freetown Municipality, Madam Yvonne Aki Sawyer have worked tremendously in sorting out these challenges in a positive way and in turn has appointed a new management team to take care of the day to day running of the club in achieving it's desired goals.


Bundu further lamented that the intervention of Mayor Madam Aki-Sawyerr as Chairperson, has contributed immensely in restructuring the Club both on and off the pitch and as well set the agenda to see the team achieved it targeted short and long term objectives. 


FCFC produced probably their best performance of the season against fellow relegation strugglers FC Johansen last Thursday to register their first win of the campaign. But the result doesn’t paper over the cracks at the crisis hit club.

Freetown City Council FC are currently occupying the tenth position in the ongoing Sierra Leone Premier League Table after playing five games and registered a win, a draw and three defeats. Their next match will be at home to Kono's Diamond stars on Friday 17th January 2020 at the Siaka Stevens stadium.

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.  ...
