The national team belongs to the people of Sierra Leone πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡± is our baby please keep us informed. Do not just snick out with our national team out of the country without informing Sierra Leoneans. This is completely unacceptable we watching the space please do the needful now. There is a media department at the FA secretariat why keeping us in a dark? Let’s get information regarding these two friendly matches it is our national team it belongs to all of us, not the minister of sports or the FA president. So please treat us like civilised people we all deserve better. So, we are waiting.”, a popular social media platform, Inside Salone wrote while commenting on the issue.
