In an exciting development for football enthusiasts in Kaffubullom chiefdom, the Kaffubullom Sports Promoters have commenced their eagerly anticipated Le 150,000 third edition tournament. The indigenous people of Kaffubullom chiefdom established this organization in 2019 with the intention of promoting football within and beyond its borders.
The centerpiece of this year's tournament is the substantial sum of 150 million old Leones, which has been allocated as the prize for the winning team. The inaugural tournament had a prize of 50 million old Leones, with Lanboi FC emerging as the victorious team. The second edition, sponsored by the Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Juldeh Jalloh, offered a star prize of 70 million old Leones, which Osman FC won.
During an interview with AimNet News, the media officer of the Kaffubullom Sports Promoters, Mohamed Lamela Kamara, highlighted some of the challenges they are currently facing. One of the Masoila communities had to withdraw from the competition due to their involvement in an ongoing football tournament. The organizers had initially expected eighteen teams to register, with the two teams with the lowest scores being eliminated, leaving sixteen teams to progress to the knockout stage.
Kamara emphasized the significant impact the tournament has had on the lives of footballers in the county. Over the years, it has been a platform for nurturing and showcasing local talent, producing numerous football stars.
