A delegation from Sierra Leone’s national football team, the Leone Stars, led by Head Coach Amidu Karim and Assistant Coach Francis “Zappa” Koroma, paid a visit to injured midfielder Mamoud Fofanah at his residence in Juba, Lumley.

Fofanah, who also plays for FC Kallon, is currently recovering from a severe ligament injury sustained during a training session ahead of the team’s doubleheader against Ivory Coast.

The visit demonstrated the team’s solidarity and support for the young player, who was unable to join his teammates for the crucial matches due to the injury.

As part of their gesture, the delegation presented Fofanah with a financial contribution of One Thousand Two Hundred United States Dollars ($1,200), equivalent to Twenty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred New Leones (NLe 28,800).
