Liberia has agreed for Sierra Leone to use the Samuel Kanyon Doe (SKD) Sports Complex in Paynesville for her international matches.
The agreement followed a Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) request to the Liberia Football Association (LFA) to play in Monrovia.
SLFA’s request, which was forwarded to Liberia’s Sports Minister Zeogar Wilson by LFA secretary-general Isaac T. Z. Montgomery on 11 August, was later accepted on August 12, 2022.
Sierra Leone will battle Mali in a second-round first-leg African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier at the SKD sports complex from 26-28 August.
They defeated Cape Verde 2-0 in the first leg on 24 July and lost the second leg 2-1 on 27 July at the Stade de Marrakech in Morocco.
Also Sierra Leone Champions League and Confederation cup representatives Bo Rangers and FC Kallon will played their respective home games at the SKD Sports Complex.
Bo Rogers and Algeria’s CR Belouizdad will meet in the CAF Champions League while FC Kallon will take on Benin’s Buffles du Borgou in the Confederation Cup at the SKD from 9-11 September.
Meanwhile, Youth and Sports Minister D. Zeogar Wilson has disclosed that neighboring Sierra Leone will not pay a cent to use the Samuel Kanyan Doe facilities for their international matches.
The disclosure came following the acceptance by the Ministry of Youth And Sports (MYS) through the Liberia Football Association (LFA) letter requesting the hosting of all Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) international matches to be played in Liberia. Read More...
