Two staff members of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), General Secretary Christopher Kamara and Head of Finance Ibrahim Ahmed Bah, have successfully completed a top management course in Football Administration at the Nelson Mandela University of South Africa and received the equivalent of a master’s degree certificate.
The Football Executive Program fully funded by FIFA in collaboration with the International Centre for Sports Studies in Switzerland and the Nelson Mandela University of Port Elizabeth, South Africa attracted over 30 participants, mainly General Secretaries and senior FIFA forward staff of member associations across Africa.
At the official closing ceremony of the one year six months course administered through a webinar, the Sierra Leonean duo made a presentation on the construction project of the proposed Women’s Football Development Centre in Freetown.
Kamara and Bah are now among only three Sierra Leonean football administrators to hold such a qualification in global football administration, the third being former SLFA General Secretary Alimu Bah.
