Sierra Leone’s FIFA and Elite A referee, Aminatta Fullah has departed for Casablanca, Morocco ahead of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which runs from July 5 to July 26, 2025.
Fullah’s appointment marks a significant milestone for Sierra Leonean football, as she becomes the nation’s first referee to participate in the prestigious continental competition. The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) celebrated her achievement, calling it a moment of national pride.
“History has been made! We are incredibly proud of Aminatta Fullah as she represents Sierra Leone with professionalism and excellence on this global stage,” the SLFA Media Department stated.
Fullah, who earned her FIFA badge in 2024, has been a trailblazer in Sierra Leonean football. She is the first female FIFA-certified referee from the country’s North East region and has officiated high-profile domestic matches, including the Women’s Premier League and regional Super Ten tournaments.
Her selection by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) underscores her rapid rise in international refereeing. The 2025 WAFCON, featuring 12 top African teams, will be a crucial platform for Fullah to showcase her skills among the continent’s elite female referees.
This achievement follows her recent recognition as one of Africa’s top officials, further solidifying her reputation in the sport. Football enthusiasts in Sierra Leone and beyond will be watching closely as she takes on this historic role.
