Sierra Leone gets landmark symbol at WAFU ordinary general assembly. The country’s football association President Thomas Daddy Brima was joined by his acting general secretary Mohamed Benson Bawoh, to represent the country at the 2023 West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Zone A Ordinary General Assembly in Banjul, Gambia.

During the seminar, Thomas Brima was appointed to serve as Chairman of the WAFU Finance Committee; he assured the zonal football administrators of his committee’s obligation to disburse finance, with support from the Executive Committee, only in the best interest of football development.

“As a committee, we are satisfied with the zone’s current financial position and therefore we are ready to start rolling out all proposed activities to keep the game very much alive within the zone, following Congress approval, going forward”.

Daddy Brima informed the WAFU Zone A membership that his committee, in their inaugural meeting, have started discussions around revenue generation mechanisms to avoid absolute reliant on FIFA and CAF funds. “Relying solely on funds from our parent bodies will be counter-productive to the pace at which we all want the game to develop within the zone”.
