Suffian Kalokoh sweeps WAFU U-20 Golden Boot


Alusine Rehme Wilson – (AR-Wilson)

Sierra Leone striker Suffian Kalokoh is proving to be one of the most prolific strikers in the region after finishing top scorer in the West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone-A, Under-20 Championship in Guinea.

Kalokoh scored six goals, including a hat-trick against Mauritania in the group stages. His two goals against Guinea sealed Sierra Leone’s passage into the semi-finals in a must win game. Playing in goal after the goalkeeper was sent off against Senegal, Kalokoh scored from the spot as Sierra Leone lost 4-1.

He was named man of the match in both games against Mauritania and Guinea respectively scoring a total of six goals for Shooting Stars of Sierra Leone ahead of all strikers from the eight representing countries in this year’s campaign.

Kalokoh is due to join his new club Bo Rangers to help in their campaign for the Sierra Leone Premier League title. He is a key member of a star-studded squad including Prince Barrie which is managed by Junior Konneh.

He scored 10 goals for his former side Old Edwardians last season to finish thirds behind Musa Noah Kamara and Baimba Sesay in the country’s top tier League. Son of a teacher, Suffian nicknamedTomentor, defied the odds to break into top flight football, initially by playing in goal before his potential as a skillful finisher was spotted.

Kalokoh has made two full senior international appearances for Leone Stars against Lesotho and Benin but yet to score a goal. He would have the opportunity to do so in a friendly or until later next year when Sierra Leone meet Nigeria in the continuation of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200.
