Liberia faces Malawi, Nigeria and Ghana in a week’s time

The honoring of international matches is as old as the administration of Musa Bility itself.

By Henry Flomo

The Bility administration is working frantically hard to enhance augmentation and exposure of players of the National team by lining up series of international matches, one after the other.

In recent past, this has been a nightmare for the National team to play trial matches before crunch fixtures in CAF and Fifa competitions. Senior Pros, IE, Barrolle, NPA and others have served as opponents to the National team ahead of major encounters irrespective of the fact that the Lone Star local players are normally recruited from the very clubs leaving them depleted , in strength and technique with no logic left to back why they should stand for a test match.


The honoring of international matches is as old as the administration of Musa Bility itself. A triangular fray to commemorate Liberia’s national day in July 2010 marked the first sets off test matches, coming just four months into the administration existence. The Republics of Guinea and Ghana made up that tournament.

Since then, the LFA under this administration has arranged and honored several other matches: Angola, Gambia, Niger, Nigeria, Yemen (away) and just last week August 15, away to Equatorial Guinea.

In furtherance of this paradigm shift in football administration locally, the National team will play host to the Flames of Malawi and the Black Stars of Ghana on September 4th and 11th, 2012 respectively. The two games will be sandwiched by the AFCON qualifier against the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Saturday September 8 in Monrovia. The three games are expected to unfold at the Samuel Kayan Doe football stadium in Paynesville, outside Monrovia.

The Malawi Flames will arrive on September 3rd aboard Kenya Airways with a 27 member delegation. Kick off time at SKD is 8pm on September 4th.

The local component of the National team has been on camp at the Stone Haven Gust House in Congo town even before leaving for Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The administration and player are seeking a third berth at Africa’s premier football gala, the Nations cup in 2013 in South Africa.

Play your individual role positively!!
