This achievement is a testament to the growing reputation of Sierra Leonean match officials on the continental and global stage. Aminata’s success shows that with hard work and the right support, our officials can compete and excel at the highest levels of international football.
Let us all come together to celebrate and support her as she represents our nation with pride at WAFCON 2025.
