Sierra Leone U-17 Set to Face Central African Republic in Crucial Showdown

January 18, 2025

The Sierra Leone Female U-17 football team is gearing up for a decisive match against the Central African Republic at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon. This fixture marks the conclusion of an intense two-legged qualifier, with a place in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco at stake.

In the first leg, both teams settled for a draw at the Southern Arena in Bo, Sierra Leone. Now, the Sierra Leone side is determined to secure a victory and advance to the next round of the qualifiers. The technical team has expressed confidence in the players’ readiness and commitment to the challenge ahead.

The winner of today’s match will move on to face Guinea, who advanced automatically following Togo’s withdrawal from the competition. This adds an extra layer of anticipation, as Sierra Leone seeks to redeem itself after a previous loss to Guinea in Makeni last December.

Fans remain optimistic about the team’s chances, hoping for a strong performance that could pave the way to the next stage of the tournament.
