LFA National Congress Set For March
28-29, 2003
-To Determine Date For National League Commencement
The long awaited Annual National Congress of the Liberia Football
Association (LFA) has been set to March 28-29, 2003.
The LFA made the pronouncement last Friday, 14, 2003 and began the
issuance of circulars under signature of the Chief Scribe Yanqueh S.
Borsay.
The Congress which is a prerequisite for the holding of the national
football league had been delayed due to a delay of the audit report
that was being worked on by Pernel Kerr Forster (PFK) Auditing Firm on
one hand, and the inability of some clubs to register for
the 2003 league season.
In order for a team to be accredited for Congress, it has to be fully
registered by the LFA. But most of the teams failed to register
because according to them, there is a serious financial constraint in
the
country.
While the LFA was sympathetic with the clubs that failed to register
on one hand, and awaiting the audit report from PKF on other hand,
some clubs officials blamed the LFA for not holding Congress in
February.
According to some of the Club Presidents, the Congress will only be
possible if the documents for
same is sent to the clubs at least one month to its convening date in
keeping with the local football
organic laws.
He added if this is not done, he foresees the Congress being postponed
or delayed, something which may also delay the commencement of the
national league.
Meanwhile, observers believe the stand by some of the
clubs is only intended to undermine the current LFA
leadership. Some say it is the same clubs who are yet
to register in full that caused the delay in the
holding of the Congress.
Football fans are therefore urging the clubs to attend
congress so that national league can commence on time
during the summer.
