The Sierra Leonean National U17 Female Football Team is not traveling to Banjul for the return leg in the first round of the U17 World Cup Qualifiers. This, according to information gathered, is due to lack of funds.
The team was supposed to be in Banjul last Wednesday for the Saturday’s much talked about encounter with their Gambian counterparts.
The Gambian team has been camped since their return from the first leg in Freetown where they defeated the host 3-0.
This, means The Gambia will now proceed to the next round of the qualifiers and will face Ghana in December.
The Sierra Leone Football Association headed by Isha Johansen has been embroiled in a political saga as it was reported on Tuesday, that the President of the SLFA Isha Johansen, as well as the Secretary General Christopher Kamara, have been sacked with immediate effect by the executive committee of the SLFA, as both have been indicted by the Sierra Leone Anti Corruption Commission on grounds of corruption.
