By: Joseph Adeshyllon Mansaray 
The commencement of the 2024/25 Sierra Leone Premier League this month as per the  announced season calendar by the Sierra Leone Football Association remains uncelear as the newly appointed Premier League Board for this season's league has remained tight-lipped about same.

This delay has raised questions over the preparedness of the board and whether the league will begin as scheduled.

Typically, by this stage, football leagues would have already published their fixtures, sponsorship announcements, and other key packages, ensuring a smooth and well-organized start to the season. 

However, the ongoing silence from the Premier League Board has left clubs, sponsors, and fans in limbo, unsure of when the matches will officially kick off.

The absence of a fixed calendar date has sparked growing frustration among football lovers, who argue that the planning and execution of a national league require proper organization and timely communication. 

Clubs are left struggling to finalize their own preparations, as they cannot fully plan for the season ahead without a clear schedule.

Beyond the fixtures, expectations are mounting for announcements regarding sponsorship deals and the commercial packages that will drive the league. 

These deals are crucial to ensuring financial stability for the clubs and the successful execution of the tournament, yet no official communication has been made regarding these arrangements.

Many are now urging the Sierra Leone Premier League Board to swiftly provide clarity, release the fixture list, and offer details on sponsorship packages to restore confidence in the upcoming season. 

With the clock ticking, all eyes are on the board to deliver the organizational standards that will uphold the quality and competitiveness of Sierra Leone's top football league.
