Female Club Presidents Meet Next Tuesday


September 7, 2006

Barely six months into his ascendancy as President of the Women Football Presidents Association of Liberia, Mr. Wallace G. Weiah is expected to meet with all Presidents of Female Clubs in the country next Tuesday September 12, in the board room of the Liberia Football Association, (LFA) in Monrovia.

According to a citation sent to the eleven female clubs in the country, Mr. Waiah said the pending meeting would provide the forum to discuss problems facing women football in the country in order to derive a blueprint for football authority.

Ahead of the meeting, Mr. Weiah is keen to form partnership with the Sports to Develop the Underprivileged, (SDU).

In a letter to the SDU boss, Emmanuel Geeza Williams, the female soccer President underscored the need to forge partnership as both organizations are keen on sports development in Liberia.

He called on the SDU leadership to give more attention to talented females as they strive to excel in sports.

Mr. Weiah, who is President of the female soccer club, Earth Angles, was elected in April to steer the affairs of the association following the ascendancy of the former President, David Korties, to the executive committee level of the Liberia Football Association, (LFA).

Many female players have wholeheartedly welcomed the pending meeting to discuss issues confronting the association and described the Waiah's leadership as a new beginning for female soccer in the country.
