The meeting gathered all national team coaches and regional technical officers to discuss and establish a comprehensive playing and coaching philosophy for all national team categories, including male and female teams.
The primary objective of the meeting was to develop a unified strategy aimed at creating a distinct playing identity for Sierra Leone, a crucial step in the nation’s quest to enhance its footballing prowess and align itself with global football standards.
Speaking to the technical officials the Technical Director of the Sierra Leone Football Association, Ibrahim Bah, stressed the significance of this strategy in transforming Sierra Leone into a footballing powerhouse, similar to other successful nations.
