The Executive Committee of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) on Tuesday 13th October 2020 dined with the Under 20 Female National Team at the Hill Valley Hotel in Freetown. The team is preparing for the WAFU female tournament to be hosted in Cape Verde late this year.
The dinner was organised by the Secretariat, who said it’s essential to interface, interact and motivate the young girls to move for a result oriented game. Chairing the event, Ibrahim Kamara, SLFA Head of Media, said the event was hosted because his executive was impressed with the steady growth of the young girls so far, citing it as why they had the informal interaction in a bid to inspire them more.
Musu Pele is the Team Manager of the Under 20 Female National Team. While thanking the executive membership of SLFA for their unflinching aid, she outlined recent challenges they are met with. She, however, committed herself to ensuring that better is achieved for the girls in the game.
“We pray that God will continue to help us do more for this nation. We will commit ourselves to the job we will fight not to let you down. We are grateful there is now discipline among the girls. And that’s a good way to go.”
The coach disclosed that there’s been a fantastic development of the players in all areas.
Harold Nat-Johnson, Executive Officer and SLFA Chairman of Women’s Football, was delighted over what he referred to as an astute transformation and progress in the country’s female football over the years. Noting the team’s outstanding performance recently in Senegal, he’s sure the gap that had existed is seemingly covered.
