By: Alusine Rehme Wilson

Forward Mohamed Kofi Sesay and Alimamy Buya Kamara, two regulars of Wusum Stars Football Club, as well as defender Musa Mansaray have all been suspended by the club’s management until further notice. The trio’s are suspended from taking part in the ongoing Sierra Leone Premier League after the technical team discovered that they: Mohamed Kofi Sesay, Alimamy Buya Kamara and Musa Mansaray took part in a community gala in Moyamba town in the Southern region without the knowledge of their Head coach and Executive Members of the club, the club’s Secretary Mohamed Papa Bangura wrote in correspondences received by the three players last Tuesday. Their suspension now means the trio will miss their weekend top of the table tie against current League leaders Bo Rangers Football Club in the ongoing Sierra Leone Premier League. Additionally, the management of the Sierra Leone Premier League returnees says they will deduct fifty percent each from the three players’ salaries for the month of March. Although no clear date has been mentioned for the return of the suspended trios, there have been mixed reactions amongst fans and other supporters of Wusum Stars regarding the management’s decision to suspend the players. Some say the move is apt while many believed the decision was too harsh and hastily taken against the players whom they say are very useful to the club which has managed to win two of their last five games in the second and final round of this season’s Sierra Leone Premier League.

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.

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...
