By: Joseph Adeshyllon Mansaray

The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) has announced that the Sierra Leone Premier League will begin its 2024/25 season on November 23, 2024.

This announcement was made by the Acting Secretary General of SLFA, Ing. Benson Bawoh, during a recent meeting with the Executive Director of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Dr. Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai, and other officials.

During the meeting, Ing. Bawoh introduced the newly formed Premier League Board Committee, responsible for overseeing the upcoming season.

Dr. Abdulai commended the board members, emphasizing the importance of transparency and integrity in the league's operations.

He urged the committee to allocate 80% of government funding to clubs, supporting them in paying players’ salaries and furthering football as a source of employment in the country.

“Our league is moving toward a professional level, with players from other nations joining our premier teams. With continued support from the government, we can expect our league to attract talent from across the continent,” Dr. Abdulai said.

He highlighted the need for the board to ensure consistency, with no alterations to fixtures and prompt handling of issues such as protests.

In addition, Dr. Abdulai recommended that the board explore broadcasting opportunities with television networks to enhance media coverage and attract a broader audience.

Magistrate Mark Ngegba, Chairman of the Premier League Board, assured the NSA of the board’s commitment to upholding integrity and transparency, while recognizing the challenges the league faces.

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.
