Three senior officials of the Sierra Leone Football Association – SLFA led by the FA president, Thomas Daddy Brima have Tuesday 11 July 2023 joined other WAFU Zone-A members in a meeting with CAF President Motsepe and WAFU-A zonal executive members at Sofitel Hotel in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

The other two members are the Acting General-Secretary, Mohamed Benson Bawoh and Executive Committee Member Brima Jalloh.

The meeting was conveyed to deliberate on issues pertinent to the development of football within Zone-A with specific focus on the CAF playing venue requirement for competitions in all categories.

The President Thomas Daddy Brima in his submission requested CAF to “reassess their strategy on stadium inspection”, noting that “some of the stadiums used in other continents for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are not better than the stadiums banned in Africa.”

Brima added that, “Consideration has to be given to MAs with playable stadium facilities away from the capital with specific reference to Sierra Leone”.

The meeting is one of the zonal consultations held ahead of CAF’s 45^th Ordinary General Assembly scheduled for the 13 July 2023 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
