MONROVIA, January 25 --The president of the Mighty Electrons football club says he is contesting the executive committee membership post in the March scheduled Liberia Football Association (LFA) National Congress.

Mr. Uriah Glaybo said his desire to seek the executive committee leadership stems from his quest to see the improvement of football in the country.

When elected on the executive committee of the LFA, Mr. Glaybo said he will work with that body to design new strategies that will help uplift the standard of football in the country.

The ELWA-based Mighty Electrons president then called on the LFA and the new leadership of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to do all that is

necessary for the quick resurrection of the national football team, the Lone

Star and the entire sporting activities in the country.

In another development, Mr. Uriah has expressed regret over the poor performances of his team in last season's league, attributing it to the lack of team work compounded by the unavailability of equipment needed for the game.

He told our reporter that his boys are currently undergoing intensive training and test matches intended to help polish them tactically and physically in preparation for the upcoming season.

Mr. Uriah then called on residents of the ELWA community to give the necessary financial support to Mighty Electrons for the coming national league season, which he believes will help improve the team's performance and bring the much needed victories.

Mighty Electrons is the only second division club from the ELWA community, and has participated in the LFA national league for over five years.
