East End Lions’ Sings Kwame Quee to back league revival

Defending champions of the Leone Rock Premier League, East End Lions Football Club have completed the signing of experienced international forward Kwame Quee, as the club looks to reignite its 2025/26 league campaign.

The 29-year-old arrives from Icelandic outfit Víkingur Ólafsvík, with vast experience that spans stints in Iceland, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Sierra Leone.

East End Lions say Quee’s signing is aimed at strengthening their attacking options during a challenging second half of the season.

Describing Kwame Quee, East End Lions officials say, "Quee is a proven professional whose international exposure and composure in big moments could be decisive as the champions attempt to climb the table.

Quee who's international journey began early, and has since represented Sierra Leone across several youth levels before earning his senior national team debut just 14 years ago, is no stranger to the Sierra Leone Premier League, having previously featured for Old Edwardians Football Club.

He was also part of Sierra Leone’s historic squad at the delayed 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, a milestone that marked the country’s return to Africa’s biggest football stage after more than two decades.

Over the course of his career, Quee has collected a number of personal and team laurels, including domestic cup honors at home, promotion campaigns in Europe, and international caps that underline his long-standing contribution to Sierra Leone football, achievements that now add pedigree to the East End Lions dressing room.

The 29-year-old is expected to make his first appearance in Lions colors on February 23, when East End Lions host Kambia Eagles Football Club.

The reigning champions currently find themselves in an unfamiliar territory, sitting 13th on the league table with just three wins from 15 matches (five losses and seven draws), trailing traditional rivals Mighty Blackpool.

With Quee now back on home soil and eager to make an impact, East End Lions will be hoping his experience and leadership can spark a late surge, turning a difficult title defense into a story of resilience, revival, and renewed ambition.

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.
