The Sports Writers Association of Liberia (SWAL) has announced a partnership with ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML) and the Liberia Football Association (LFA) to launch the maiden edition of the AML Cup, a district league spanning three counties.

The partnership, valued at $5,250, gives SWAL full responsibility for media coverage and branding of the tournament, working through its coordinators and members in Nimba, Bong, and Grand Bassa counties.

The tournament, designed exclusively for districts within AML's operational areas, highlights the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility and community development. It aims to strengthen grassroots football, promote unity, and inspire young athletes across the three counties.

In its statement issued Monday, SWAL described the collaboration as "a significant milestone in strengthening sports institutions and advancing football development nationwide."
