Sierra Leone Achieves Significant Presence at WAFU Ordinary Assembly

On Sunday, July 30th, Sierra Leone was strategically represented by Thomas Daddy Brima, President of the Sierra Leone Football Association, and Mohamed Benson Brima, the Acting General Secretary, at the 2023 West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Zone A Ordinary General Assembly in Banjul, Gambia

The annual meeting came just after President Brima was recently appointed to serve as Chairman of the WAFU Finance Committee.

Thomas Daddy Brima, in his presentation, assures the zonal football administrators of his Committee’s commitment to disburse finance, with support from the Executive Committee, only in the best interest of football development. He disclosed to Congress that, “As a committee, we are satisfied with the zone’s current financial position and therefore think we are ready to start rolling out all proposed activities to keep the game very much alive within the zone, following Congress approval”.

President Brima continued by informing the WAFU Zone A Membership that his committee, in their inaugural meeting, has started discussions around revenue generation mechanisms to avoid absolute reliance on FIFA and CAF funds. “Relying solely on funds from our parent bodies will be counterproductive to the pace at which we all want the game to develop within the zone”.
