The Sports Ministry through the Sierra Leone National Sports Council has written a letter to the World’s Football governing body, FIFA over their stand on the issue of the Sierra Leone Football Association’s (SLFA’s) Interim executive and their decision to dissolve the Isha Johansen led executive.

 

The Sports council urged FIFA to urgently send delegates to Freetown to come and verify and discuss the ongoing situation in the country.

The letter which was signed by the Director of Sports, Saidu Mansaray stated that their correspondence to FIFA came after FIFA stated in their January 8th 2015 correspondence in which they stated that they did not recognize the Alhaji Unisa Alim Awoko Sesay interim executive.


“The Sports Council acting in accordance with the Nations Sports Council Act of 1964 provides for the control of sports in Sierra Leone and the council did approve the resolution by the SLFA members dated December 20th 2014 which was agreed upon in accordance with the SLFA constitution by a majority of the legitimate members of SLFA.”  

The Director of Sports further state that the decision by the SLFA members were in conformity with the provision of the SLFA and the FIFA constitution and that the information given to FIFA by the former SLFA General Secretary that the members are not legitimate is misleading.

“We want FIFA to review its decisions with regards to the recognition of the SLFA interim executive by FIFA and to also stop corresponding with Madam Isha Johansen and Christopher Kamara,” the letter reads.

Meanwhile the FIFA office is yet to confirm receipt of the letter.
