In a show of admiration and support for Liberia’s rising female athletes, Ambassador Alioune Kebe has donated six hundred thousand Liberian dollars (L$600,000.00) to the Liberia Female National Soccer Team. The donation was made in recognition of the team’s outstanding performance at the recently concluded West African Football Organization (WAFO) Tournament, where the team secured an impressive third-place finish.
During a brief but heartfelt ceremony held in Monrovia, Ambassador Kebe praised the players for their determination, resilience, and representation of Liberia on the regional stage.
“This team has not only played with heart but has also inspired a nation. Their efforts at the WAFO tournament showed the world the strength and potential of Liberian women in sports,” said Ambassador Kebe. “This contribution is a token of appreciation and encouragement for what they have achieved and what lies ahead.”
Team captain expressed gratitude on behalf of her teammates. “We are deeply thankful for this generous support. It means a lot to us to know that our efforts are being recognized. This will motivate us to train harder and aim even higher.”
The Liberia Football Association (LFA) also commended Ambassador Kebe’s gesture, calling it a vital boost for women’s football in the country. LFA noted, “Support like this is what helps build a future for our athletes. We encourage others to follow Ambassador Kebe’s example.”
The donation is expected to go toward team’s welfare as the squad begins preparations for upcoming international fixtures.
The WAFO tournament marked a milestone for Liberian women’s football, and Ambassador Kebe’s support underscores the growing recognition of the team’s role in promoting national pride and gender equality in sports.
