The Liberia Football Association has admitted into its membership nine clubs playing in the top tiers of both women and men football.
As per LFA’s statute, only clubs participating in the men’s first and second leagues as well as the women’s upper division are eligible to obtain the membership of the Liberia Football Association.
The women’s upper league side, Senior Female Professional, was admitted to the membership as a result of its qualification to the Upper Women League in the 2022/23 season thereby ending in the fourth position.
Shaita Angels’ admittance comes following their promotion to the Upper Women League for 2023/24 campaign as well as the capturing of the LFA Women’s Lower League Championship.
As granted by LFA’s statute, the clubs can now fully participate in congresses, exercise voting rights and benefit from all extended development, technical and financial assistance programs provided the LFA.
Other clubs admitted to congress include newly promoted first division side, Paynesville FC and second division Samira FC, Sinoe, NPA and LEAD MFA.
While the female clubs that acquired new memberships at the 27th Ordinary Congress in Paynesville City include Ravia Angels FC, JUST FC and Bassa Girls FC.
