Galaxy of former and present African and European stars are to grace the retirement of one of Liberia's greatest footballers, Kelvin Sebwe.

After more than two decades on the park, the curl legged maestro has decided to call it a day as his retirement match is set for this Thursday, June 25, 2009 at the famous Samuel Kayon Doe (SKD) Sports Stadium in Paynesville City.

 Kelvin's senior compatriot, the legendary George Oppong Manneh Weah is expected to lead an array of reputable footballers to make Mr. Sebwe's last official day on the pitch such a mirthful and memorable one.

With Weah leading the pack, ex-Africa stars including three times African footballer of the year Abedi Pele Ayew from Ghana, Aboubaccar Titi Camara from Guinea,Youssef Fofana of the Ivory Coast and other ex-international African stars are to make the event more ecstatic one.

Also, some ex-European stars with African roots are to be available as well including the Algerian born ex-international Youri Djorkaeff and Lilian Thuram.

 But, the pick in the pack if all goes well as planned, then the likes of the gangling Didier Tebily Drogba Yves, Samuel Eto'o Fils, the Toure brothers of Habib Kolo and Gnerei, Barcelona hit man Samuel Eto’o and other top guns who are currently making headways in Europe.

Also, a plethora of former Lone Star players including James Salinsa Debbah, Joe Nagbe, Jonathan 'Boye Charles' Sogbie, Donasius Sebwe, Jean Friday Roberts, Zizi Roberts, Christopher Wreh, Oliver Markor and many other stars will be on hand.

The tension is building, the momentum is high, the stars are looming and the atmosphere is certainly expected to be electrifying. It will no doubt be a moment to remember, and Kelvin who is on record for scoring several vital goals for the Lone Star since making his full debut against the Reds of Tunisia in the late 80’s will definitely bid the game farewell in an honorable fashion by evidence of the program in the fore.

Moreover, the former Lone Star great who made in-roads with French club Toulouse, as well as a host of clubs in Greece will always be admired and respected for his prodigious decision in organizing his retirement match at home, something many rising stars and even those Liberians that are active kicking the round will emulate.
