The Sierra Leone Football Association, General Secretary Christopher Kamara and Head of Finance- Ibrahim Ahmed Bah have on the 10th February 2021 successfully completed a top management course in Football Administration at the Nelson Mandela University in South Africa. Both have been conferred with the equivalent of a post graduate Certificate.
The Football Executive Program which was fully funded by FIFA in collaboration with the International Centre for Sports Studies in Switzerland and the Nelson Mandela University of Port Elizabeth, South Africa attracted over thirty participants, (30) mainly General Secretaries and senior FIFA Forward staff of Member Associations across Africa.
The official closing ceremony of the one year six months course took place on Wednesday 10th February, through a webinar during which the Sierra Leonean duo made a masterpiece presentation on the construction project of the proposed Women’s Football Development Centre in Freetown.
Kamara and Bah are now among the only three Sierra Leonean football administrators to hold such a qualification in global football administration, the third being the former SLFA General Secretary Alimu Bah.
