In as much as the result of the game has no impact on Leone Stars’ qualification as wanted by all Sierra Leoneans, to put on a best performance is hoped for as it will reflect on our transition process and Confederation of African Football and FIFA ranking.

The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) has to explain to the people of Sierra Leone regarding many monies spent, and the total number of delegates that made the trip to Guinea Bissau to witness the event because Leone Stars are believed to have only showed up in a bid to honor the fixtures but not to qualify.
