Abdulai Juma Bah Makes History as First Sierra Leonean to Play in Spanish La Liga

Sierra Leonean international Abdulai Juma Bah made history on Friday by becoming the first player from his country to feature in La Liga.

The 19-year-old center-back started for Real Valladolid in their goalless draw against Real Sociedad.

Bah, who joined Valladolid less than a month ago, impressed in his debut, playing 78 minutes of the match. His strong performances have earned him a place in the starting lineup.

A towering figure at 195 centimeters tall, Bah has quickly proven to be a reliable defender. His physicality and skill on the ball have impressed both the coaching staff and his teammates.

Bah’s journey to La Liga is a remarkable one. From playing in the streets of Freetown to working in a bakery, he has come a long way. His talent was recognized by scouts, who traveled to Africa to observe him.

Real Valladolid fans are excited to see what Bah can bring to the club this season.
