The Vice President for Operations of the Liberia Football Association has admitted that the game was facing a number of problems in the country.

Mr. Adolph Lawrence identified disunity in the football house as one of the factors responsible for the downward trend of the game.


Mr. Lawrence also cited lack of accountability and coordination among the top three football officials.

He said they were all responsible for the negative publicity the LFA was receiving.

Mr. Lawrence has also called for a revision of the contract signed between the LFA and a South African Firm, DITIRIO.

The LFA Vice President for Operations said the deal has not benefited football in the country.

He also stated the portion of the deal giving DITIRIO the exclusive rights to negotiate advertisements and contracts for the football body be scraped.

Mr. Lawrence is also demanding an inventory of the 98 thousand United States Dollars worth of equipment donated to Liberia by the company.
