The Leone Stars Team Manager, Abdul Karim Bangura, has completed the FIFA Campus Essential Course for National-Team Managers (2026 edition), held in Rabat from 14–15 April 2026.
The high-level training programme, organised by FIFA in collaboration with the International Centre for Sports Studies, brought together national team managers from across Africa to strengthen their knowledge in modern football management and administration.
During the course, participants engaged in key modules covering the planning and delivery of national team activities, FIFA Forward 3.0 projects, match operations, safeguarding within the African context, and the development of women’s football.
The course also provided practical insights into improving team logistics, communication structures, and overall operational efficiency within national associations.
The completion of the programme marks an important step in enhancing the professionalism and effectiveness of the Leone Stars’ backroom structure.
Bangura noted that the exposure to global best practices and the exchange of ideas with fellow managers will contribute positively to the continued development of football in Sierra Leone.
The Sierra Leone Football Association has reaffirmed its commitment to building capacity among its technical and administrative staff, ensuring that national teams are managed in line with international standards both on and off the pitch.
