Reports reaching Star Radio say there are plans by the Liberia Football Association to promote three teams to the premier league.

Star Radio gathered the decision to promote three teams was agreed at an executive meeting of the group on Tuesday. The latest Football Association decision would see Liberia’s oldest club Invincible Eleven return to the premier league. The executive committee decision was reported to be based on a recommendation from the competition committee.

When Star Radio contacted a member of the competition committee, he confirmed that the matter was discussed but failed to say a decision was reached. Mr.Garmondeh Karnga said their recommendation was in the interest of the growth of the game in the country.

Mr.Karnga Said a formal decision on the matter would be announce by the president of the LFA. But the president of a first division club has described the LFA decision as bias.

The President of Gedi &Sons said the action was not in the interest of the game instead it was to favor Invincible Eleven. Mr. Patrick Garwo argued that other teams that were in such condition seasons ago were not considered.

Mr.Garwo recommended that the LFA promote five teams to the premier league instead of three. He believes this would serve the best interest of all the teams.
