I have been following with avid interest recent events on social media especially the furore surrounding our Senior Men's national football team, Leone Stars. It ranges from the official/unofficial delegation list of people travelling to the Lesotho match, the Press Release from the Ministry of Finance regarding the amount approved and disbursed to the NSA/MOS, the Press Release from the SLFA making clarifications in respect of the said Press Release to the lack lustre performance of our boys in the scoreless match against Lesotho.

The Bo District Football Association has congratulated the President of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) Isha Johansen after she was elected to the FIFA Executive Council.  In its congratulatory message the Bo FA said the achievement was not just for her but all women in Sierra Leone and the African continent, and also football fans.

Sierra Leone football has suffered another setback after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Saturday 27 February 2021, banning the use of the Siaka Stevens Stadium in Freetown for international matches including the pending African Cup of Nations home tie against Benin.

The Sierra Leone Football Association SLFA has postponed its Elective Congress originally scheduled for the end of this month in the northern headquarter town of Makeni without stating a new date for the long-awaited Congress.

According to a statement issued by the body, the decision to suspend the Congress was taken after reviewing the work of their judicial bodies so far and correspondences from the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the world football governing body, FIFA.
