Sierra Leone’s national football team, the Leone Stars, are preparing for a crucial match against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in the upcoming 2023 Afcon qualifiers. The game will take place on June 18, 2023 at the SKD stadium in Liberia, with a kick-off time of 4:00PM GMT. Tickets are available for USD$5 for open stands, USD$10 for cover stands, and USD&50 for VIP tickets.
The Sierra Leone Football Association had requested permission from CAF to play home matches at the Southern Arena stadium in Bo, but their request was rejected due to poor hotel facilities. The Leone Stars are currently in third position in their group, with five points from four matches. They face tough competition from Nigeria, São Tomé, and Guinea-Bissau. However, their recent performances against São Tomé have given them confidence.
The Leone Stars have been training intensively at the Southern Arena to fine-tune their strategies and enhance their team cohesion. They boast a talented squad, with players like Augustus Kargbo, Alhassan Koroma, and Prince Barrie. The Super Eagles also have a strong attack line, including Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze. The Leone Stars will need to be fully focused to prevent any damage from these players.
Sierra Leone’s national team aims to showcase their skills, determination, and teamwork to secure a favorable outcome in the 2023 Afcon qualifiers. This match is a must-win if they want to participate in the 2023 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON) tournament in Côte d’Ivoire.
