Freetown — Founder of the Sierra Leone International Football Academy (SLIFA), Benjamin Gordon has revealed that his academy is ready to support female football in the country.

Gordon who is presently based in the United State of America said the recent donation of footballs to the U-17 is a start of their work as similar donation will extend to the U-20, Leone Stars and the female football teams.

"We are planning to make more donations not only to the U-17 since our organization thinks that we have a part to play in the development of Sierra Leone football to reach its highest peak," Gordon said.

"The donation we gave the U-17 is a little one to start with. These donations will be going to U-17 and different sporting disciplines in the country," he said adding that such donations will continue to different communities in September and December.

Gordon further noted that their next plan is to start their building project adding that they have couple of players in the team who he said will be joining an academy in Norway.

"Some will have a pro-contract while the U-14 players that are currently playing at the Parade Field will be moving up for further development," Gordon said.
