As Sierra Leone approaches a decisive moment in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, calls are intensifying for the return of international striker Kei Kamara to the national squad.
Despite his age, Kamara continues to perform at an exceptional level, scoring crucial goals for his club and proving that he remains one of Sierra Leone’s most outstanding footballers on the global stage.
Fans and football pundits alike are urging the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) and the national team’s technical staff to reconsider their stance on the striker, especially with the looming challenge of facing powerhouse Ivory Coast in October.
Ivory Coast, widely regarded as one of the strongest teams in Africa, poses a formidable challenge for Sierra Leone, and many believe Kamara’s experience and goal-scoring prowess could provide the team with a much-needed boost.
Kei Kamara continues to score important goals, and the technical staff should reconsider their stance on him,” one commentator noted, echoing the sentiments of many supporters.
“It’s important for the SLFA to contact him to assist the national team, given the current situation in the ongoing qualifiers.”
Kamara, who retired from international duty in 2022, has expressed a willingness to return and serve his country once again.
With his consistent performances on the pitch, fans are baffled as to why the national team would not take advantage of his skills and experience.
“You can’t have an outstanding player like Kei Kamara, who is willing to come out of retirement, and still make excuses not to bring him back,” another supporter expressed.
“Let’s be serious. Swallow your pride and bring the player back to help his country.”
As Sierra Leone prepares for one of the most crucial fixtures in their AFCON campaign, the decision to recall Kamara could be a defining moment.
His experience, particularly in high-stakes matches, may well prove invaluable in the nation’s quest to secure a place in the AFCON finals.
With mounting pressure from fans and football analysts, the ball is now in the SLFA’s court.
The question remains: will the technical staff heed the growing calls and give one of Sierra Leone’s most accomplished players the opportunity to don the green, white, and blue jersey once again?
