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.

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...

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.
