February 1, 2007

As pressure begins to mount for the Lone Star of Liberia to commence early training and preparation ahead of the forth coming Nations Cup qualifier match against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, reports gathered by our sports desk said the team may likely travel to Kuwait for an international friendly match.

Credible source at the local football house confirmed the report of the international friendly match but cautioned that the trip could only be possible if the Kuwaiti Football Federation consent to the friendly match with Liberia.


Our source said if all goes as plan, the friendly encounter would take place on February 7, FIFA International Friendly Day.

Our source further said the trip is being arranged by Kubba Fashion based in Singapore. The source noted that Kubba Fashions would sponsor the trip.

The Lone Star of Liberia is expected to engage the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on the weekend of March 23-25 in the qualifying round of the African Nations Cup, which is expected to take place in Ghana next year.


The Lone Star is expected to travel to Yaounde, Cameroon and up to present, the national team has not begun training though sporting authorities say the team would begin training soon.

Cameroon is one of Africa's biggest teams, ranking 2nd in the Coco Cola African Rankings and currently tops group 5 with six points. Reports from Cameroon said that they are not taking lightly the match against Liberia as they have already recalled major big names for the match.

The African Nations Cup is without doubt the greatest sporting spectacle on the continent. Countries are divided into groups in the qualifying rounds and each group winner qualifies automatically for Ghana where they will be joined by the top three runners-up from the groups made up of four teams.
