Their engagement was geared towards creating a pathway for Sierra Leonean players to ply their trade in Romania and other European nations.

Speaking to this writer, the UK based Morlai B Kamara who is working with Tottenham Hotspur youth system and who doubles as co-founder and director of Area Best LTD, a London club; said that such an engagement is necessary and the country should make good use of the opportunity, as that will help the nation to have more quality Sierra Leonean players in Europe, as Romania and Petrolul will just serve as a springboard for young players’ professional career.

The experienced youth football administrators Kamara and Conteh were taken to a conducted tour of the Petrolul facility in Romania. They were thrilled with the kind of developments and ideas Chirita has in youth football development.
