The Board, Management, and Staff of the National Sports Authority (NSA) have extended their deepest condolences to the Conteh family and the wider football community following the passing of Madam Victoria Conteh, former Head Coach of Sierra Leone’s Senior National Female Football Team, the Sierra Queens.
In a statement, the Authority described Madam Conteh as a trailblazer whose contributions to football in Sierra Leone will be remembered for generations. She made history as the first Sierra Leonean female coach to lead a team in the country’s male Premier League — a groundbreaking achievement that challenged long-standing norms within the sport.
Her tenure with Eastern Tigers Football Club was widely regarded as a turning point for women’s inclusion in football. Through her leadership, she not only demonstrated technical excellence but also highlighted the vital role women can play in the growth and development of the game in Sierra Leone.
The NSA noted that Madam Conteh’s legacy extends beyond her achievements on the field, serving as an inspiration to aspiring female athletes and coaches across the country.
As the football community continues to mourn her passing, the Authority reaffirmed its commitment to honouring her legacy and preserving the impact of her invaluable contributions to the sport.
Madam Victoria Conteh is remembered as a pioneer, a leader, and a symbol of progress in Sierra Leonean football.
May her soul rest in peace.
