Fifteen (15) promising players below the age of 17 from the four districts in the North East Region have been selected based on merit, discipline, and performance to showoff their skills at the national stage in the coming weeks.

This development follows a successful three-day U-17 trial session held at the Makeni Wusum Stadium by the North-East Region Football Association (NERFA) from 26th to 28th August 2025.

The three days trial for U17 players brought together over one hundred young players from the four district associations of Falaba, Tonkolili, Bombali, and Koinadugu, under the technical guidance of regional and national coaches who assessed the players’ fitness, tactical awareness, and individual skills.

Over the course of the three days, the young players participated in intensive training drills, competitive matches, and technical evaluations designed to identify potential stars who could represent the region at national levels.

NERFA officials described the three-day trial as a major step toward nurturing the next generation of footballers and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the dreams of young players in the North-East region.

The excercise forms part of the Babadi Kamara led Sierra Leone Football Association’s (SLFA) ongoing nationwide Talent Development Scheme aimed at strengthening grassroots football and creating opportunities for young players across the country.

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.
