The Sierra Leone national football team, affectionately known as the Leone Stars, are officially gearing up for international action this March as they prepare to compete in the FIFA Series 2026.

According to an announcement by the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), the team will travel to Baku, Azerbaijan, to participate in two highly anticipated friendly matches. The mini-tournament format aims to provide competitive fixtures between national teams from different confederations.

The Leone Stars will open their FIFA Series campaign against Oman in late March. The structure of the tournament dictates that their performance in this initial match will directly determine their second opponent.

Here are the details for the upcoming fixtures:

Match 1: Oman vs. Sierra Leon
Date: 27 March 2026
Time: 15:00
Venue: Dalga Arena, Baku

Match 2: Sierra Leone vs. Azerbaijan OR St. Lucia
Date: 30 March 2026

Qualification Details: If the Leone Stars defeat Oman, they will advance to face the winner of the match between Azerbaijan and St. Lucia. Conversely, if they lose their opening fixture, they will play against the loser of that same tie.

The SLFA is encouraging fans to follow the team’s progress through their official channels as the Leone Stars look to make a strong showing on the international stage.
