Mount Aureol and Tengbeh Town played to a 2-2 draw Wednesday at Parade Field, a result that leaves Group C of the COFA Inter-Community Champions League wide open with every point proving vital.

The stalemate at the Parade Field off Circular Road keeps both communities in the hunt for knockout-stage qualification. The Central One Football Association (COFA) league features 32 communities competing in the 2026 season, with the postponed Aberdeen-Tengbeh Town fixture adding further uncertainty to the group’s final standings.

Neither side could break the deadlock despite both finding the net twice in an entertaining contest. The draw reflects the broader competitiveness of this year’s tournament, where qualification races remain too close to call across multiple groups.

Parade Field has become the heartbeat of grassroots football in Freetown, hosting matches that draw strong community support and serve as a platform for emerging talent. The COFA league, formed over 30 years ago by football enthusiasts, has grown into one of Sierra Leone’s most competitive grassroots tournaments.

With the group stage approaching its climax, both Mount Aureol and Tengbeh Town remain in contention, knowing that every remaining fixture could determine their fate in the 2026 Inter-Community Champions League.
