After 87 years, the Liberia Football Association (LFA) has finally succeeded in having its own headquarters. In the past, the LFA has either paid rent for offices or used the Antoinette Tubman Stadium as its headquarters, but that struggle is now in the past. On Friday, April 28th, the chief patron of sports, George Weah, dedicated a modern headquarters that was fully funded by the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) through its FIFA Forward fund.
FIFA Forward is one of the most ambitious development programs in the world of sport and is now entering its third phase. According to LFA president Mustapha Raji, FIFA also provided logistical support and human resources through its regional office in Dakar. Speaking at the dedication ceremony, former World Footballer of the Year and current President of Liberia, George Manneh Weah, thanked FIFA for supporting Liberian football.
“It’s an important step and we can only be grateful and say a big thank you to Gianni Infantino and his team,” said Chief Patron of Sports George Weah. “We will keep working together to take Liberian football to the next level. I worked with FIFA before becoming president and I am continuing to support their work today because I know what FIFA is capable of. I must express, therefore my most sincere gratitude to Gianni Infantino, who is passionate about football and wants to see the countries of Africa keep pace with the rest of the world in terms of their development. We are proud and happy to work alongside FIFA, and I would like to congratulate Mustapha Raji and his team for successfully completing this next step.” Read More…
