Defender Abdul Razack Conteh returns to top-tier actions with “The Killers”

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson
East End Lions defense has been boosted once again following the arrival of its promising left back Abdul Razack Conteh. Conteh rejoined his East End Lions teammates for training on April 19 in Freetown and resumed top-tier action for the 2019 League Champions last Friday, after being overseas for nearly six months. 
East End Lions FC’s Head coach Mohamed Lamin Kamara introduced the gigantic and promising left back together with his teammate Abu Dumbuya in the 88th minute during their match day 29 1-0 victory against Anti Drugs FC at the Wusum Stadium in Makeni. Prior to the end of the Sierra Leone Premier League first round last year, Conteh left the shores of Freetown for a proposed trial with Portuguese side FC Porto resulting to him missing out a spot from the senior national men’s team (Leone Stars) 2021-AFCON Squad. 

The skillful defender who last skipped the national men’s U-20 at a WAFU-A tournament was reported to have been stranded in Gambia where his hopes of securing a visa to Portugal for the proposed trial with FC Porto was dashed. 

In a post match interview with AWE-Media.SL, the former Marampa Stars defender was about his impression rejoining his East End Lions Football Club teammates for top-tier actions after missing out for a while, and about his journey to joining FC Port which never was, the talented and humble left back in his reply, “expressed delight for his return to top-tier actions with “the Killers” but refused to comment about his overseas travel at the moment.”

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...

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. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...

Disturbing snail space Civil works in the Makeni Central Lorry park

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy) The Makeni City Council (MCC) ordered commercial vehicles and business entities to leave the park area for the purpose of upgrading the park. Two weeks were given as the duration of the work. Regrettably, a week plus few days have elapsed with no significant work done. Drivers and business people in the park are completely frustrated and their livelihoods threatened.  Few years ago, drivers and traders were asked out of the park for similar reason but after two weeks they were asked to return to the park with no work done. This was disrespectful and insulting.  We urge MCC to double their efforts as the affected persons are running out of patience.
