(Buchanan, Grand Bassa County):The President of the Republic, H.E. Dr. George Manneh Weah, has commended the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) for its continued generosity to Liberia, particularly its commitment to developing young Liberians’ talents and driving them towards attaining their growth and wellbeing. Acknowledging a horde of FIFA’s development projects in Liberia and Africa in general, the Liberian Chief Executive who is also a FIFA Hall of famer, said the organization is not just about football as many think but that it also concerns itself with impactful social programs and activities geared towards building the smiles of people and giving back to society.
“I have seen in that media that FIFA has put a ban on activities in Namboole most especially hosting international games. This perturbs because it comes at the time our icon [Cranes captain] Denis Onyango is retiring, does it mean government is retiring supporting Namboole? What is taking place in Namboole, I thought Namboole is a facility that generates its own money,” Aagon said.
In May last year, the Confederation of African Federation (CAF) and Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) disqualified the Mandela National Stadium from hosting the forthcoming 2022 World Cup qualifiers, saying the facility is substandard.
The football bodies found the pitch, toilets, pavilion and dressing rooms in Namboole in very bad shape - recommending total renovation. Namboole the country s biggest stadium has been the home ground for the national team, the Uganda Cranes since 2002.
