President George Oppong Weah
The Liberia Football Association has announced that all is set for the unveiling of its national beach soccer project.
A series of events will climax the beach soccer match against Ghana’s Black Sharks in Monrovia.
The beach soccer unity cup between the Ghana Sharks and Liberia Lone Shark will be played at the vast Silver Plain Beach Resort overlooking the RLJ Hotels in Thinker Village.
The organisers have proposed a return leg in Accra the following year.
According to an official letter sent to beach soccer officials in Ghana and copied to the GFA Normalisation Committee, there will be a symbolic presentation of the giant unity trophy in Monrovia to signal the commencement of the official countdown.
Liberia’s President George Oppong Weah is expected to then launch Liberia’s five-year national beach soccer programme which was drafted by the President of Ghana Beach Soccer, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah.
The unity cup will also honour the special friendship that exists between Ghana and the Republic of Liberia.
Over the past decade, only women’s soccer has seen a faster growth than beach soccer as one of FIFA’s key development projects.
Largely thanks to increased television coverage, beach soccer continues to attract millions of followers, fans and players around the world.
With a vast pool of young talent, Ghana is still regarded as a potential beach soccer giant in Africa, notwithstanding a recent lull in activities.
The President of Liberia Beach Soccer, Clarence Lee Chea, stated that Liberia Lone Sharks will play a top club side before the international friendly which will be graced by Mr. George Oppong Weah.
The unity cup will also be used as a point of contact for sporting cooperation between the two countries who have a long existing history of friendship and support.
