The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) has in a press release dated May 3, 2021, postponed the Elective Congress which was to take place from February 2021 to June 2021.

According to the SLFA, the postponement is due to the outcome of the Ethics Board’s report that was published on the 25th March 2021, in which it stated no candidate was qualified to contest for the position of Vice President 1.

With this in mind, the SLFA has decided to reopen the nomination process, which takes effect from Monday, May 3, 2021, to Friday, May 7, 2021at 5:00 pm prompt.
