Lamboi Football Club, based in Lungi, Kaffu Bullom Chiefdom and from the Northwest Region, has officially rebranded as Bullom Stars Football Club.

The name change marks a new era for the club, which has been a cornerstone of the community’s sporting life. This transformation follows months of deliberations between the club’s ownership, led by Augustine Lamboi, and key stakeholders within the Lungi and Kaffu Bullom Chiefdom.

A New Chapter for Lungi Football

The rebranding is not merely cosmetic but represents a significant shift in the club’s identity and its relationship with the local community. Augustine Lamboi, the visionary CEO and a proud son of the soil, has taken this bold step as a way of giving back to his roots. “The constant support from the people of Kaffu Bullom has been the backbone of this team,” Lamboi said. “I want to acknowledge that loyalty by ensuring that the club truly belongs to the community that has supported us through thick and thin.”

This decision is a monumental gesture of empowerment, as Lamboi has chosen to entrust the football club to the Kaffu Bullom people. This shift from private to community ownership symbolizes the deeper connection between the team and its local supporters, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose. All necessary engagements and formalities for this rebranding have been completed with the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), ensuring a smooth transition into the upcoming football season.
