Sierra Leone will lock horns with the island nation of São Tomé e Príncipe at the Estadio Nacional 12 de Julho in the first leg of the second round of the preliminary matches of the 29th edition of the CAF Cup of Nations in South Africa 2013.

Six crucial matches are scheduled for this weekend across the country in the Sierra Leone Premier League. After 39 games so far, 71 goals have been scored.

The National Olympic Committee’s Chef de Mission Unisa Deen Kargbo, is pleading with all local sports federations to submit the names of athletes for accreditation to the London Olympics in July this year.

As the Premier League reaches its 38 games played today, spectators are increasingly becoming restless especially with the non-performance of the so-called big clubs, East End Lions and Ports Authority who will go out to kill each other this evening at the national stadium.

 A Sierra Leone international who plays his club football with Finnish Premier League side FC HAKA VALKEAKOSKI, Obi Metzger has told Politico that if dropping Coach Christian Cole would solve all the hassle in the team, then they all will be happy as “we just want the best for the team”.

As the Premier League reaches 38 games played today, spectators are increasingly becoming restless especially with the non-performance of the so-called big clubs, East End Lions and Ports Authority who will go out to kill each other this evening at the national stadium. The attempt by East End Lions (the Killers) to win their second match in the league last week was stopped by their rivals Kissy All Stars who scored deep into the second half. It remains to be seen how the dogfight between them and the Water Front boys, Ports Authority will play out.
