May 18, 2008, Rabat, Morocco – The Lone Star 13-man football squad
in Rabat, Morocco continues its preparation for the 2010 World Cup
and African Nations Cup qualifiers with a high level of
concentration on its training sessions.
The team is camped at the Mollah Abdallah Sports Complex in the
Rabat suburb of Tamara.
Goalkeeper coach Kasumu Sillah, who is in charge of the squad,
pending the arrival here of German coach Antoine Hey, is upbeat
about what he describes as the enthusiasm among the players to
utilize the training facilities provided by the Moroccan Government.
He told the Liberian press corps traveling with the team the degree
of commitment being exhibited by the players indicates their desire
for success in their 2010 campaign.
Sillah said the team, including the technical staff, is in high
anticipation of head coach Hey, now expected in Rabat on Thursday,
along with a contingent of eight Europe-based players and a German
physiotherapist, recommended by the coach to serve the team for at
least five weeks.
Meantime, the Liberian delegation, led by Deputy Sports Minister
Marbue Richards, continues to enjoy a warm hospitality from the
people and Government of Morocco, as well as the Liberian Embassy
staff here, headed by Charge de Affaires Morieba K. Sanor.
