The Sierra Leone Football Association has appointed Ibrahim Brima Swarray as new team manager of Leone Stars in the upcoming World Cup qualification 2026 campaign.

The announcement of Ibrahim Brima Swarray, who also doubles as Commissioner General of the National Revenue Authority (NRA) as the newly appointed Leone Stars team manager, was a sad news to football lovers in the country because Mr. Swarray may be entitled to some salary from the country’s consolidated taxpayers’ money.

With a little successful track-record at NPPA and now at NRA, he is poised to integrate his financial prudence into the management of Leone Stars team.

The decision to appoint this spell procurement and finance professional as football’s team manager reflects a forward-thinking approach by Sierra Leone Football Association, acknowledging the vital role that financial stability plays in the development and success of any sporting entity today.

Mr. Swarray’s financial and procurement expertise, and which the association aims to optimize its resources, will attract potential sponsors, and is sure to bolster financial sustainability for the national football team.

This selection underscores the commitment of SLFA to elevate the standard of football in the country.

Perhaps, with Swarray’s dual expertise in finance and procurement, SLFA is aiming for a winning combination that can steer Sierra Leonean football to novel altitudes.
