SLFA President begs journalists.

By Muctar Koroma.

The President of the Sierra Leone Football Association Madam Isha Johansen in a press conference held at Home Suite Hotel in Aberdeen Freetown pled on journalists to help rebrand the Sierra Leone Football Association image. She said a lot of problems the association had had in the past is all down to misunderstanding and that is one thing that is stagnant and common even for the love of the game. 

"During matches, we all put our difference aside and go watch matches it because we love the game" said Madam Johansen. 

 The SLFA president revealed that during the last two days, they had lots of soul-searching with the UEFA assist team. They   as the executive committee had a very intensive discussion on where they think the Sierra Leone Football Association went wrong.

Madam Isha Johansen went on tell the sport journalists that they know where they have gone wrong as a football association, and they are ready to address that going forward. She called on journalists to change their mindsets because they all have the answer to make the football better and stronger.

Cracking jokes with sport journalists at the press conference, SLFA president Isha Johansen said she saw one or two journalists around who are showing love and some media houses pulling the 'dagger'   already, but she sees them coming in peace. She called on journalists to put aside their differences and come onboard to help push the Sierra Leone football forward. 

"The football house is always opened to all of you, with this UEFA assists programme we are going to do a lot of assists and collaboration with you the media".

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.  ...
