The Liberia Football Association and the world football governing body FIFA are yet to reach a conclusion on the pronouncement of Rochelle Woodson as Liberia’s female representative to the FIFA Committee for Women's Football and the FIFA Women's World Cup (TM) for 2015, including the Canadian Female World Cup.

The committee is headed by Worawi Makudi of Thailand, who is serving as chairman and Theo Zwanziger, vice chair, along with 16 members and two advisors, including Steffi Jones of Germany and Walter Sieber of Canada. Liberia and Senegal are the only two West African countries on the committee represented by Rochelle Woodson (Liberia) and Fatou Gaye (Senegal).

The Liberia Football Association is requesting FIFA to provide full detail on the nomination of Rochelle Woodson. The process of nominating a name for that position came about when Mr. Idussa Kaba was then Secretary General of the FA, but was sacked and replaced by Yanqueh Borsay, who is currently acting.

Mrs. D. Sheba Brown, whose name was sent to FIFA, was disqualified. Her disqualification came as the result of the current slot on the Liberia Football Executive Committee and not being a former footballer, LFA President Musa Bility.

Mr. Bility however said to his surprise Rochelle Woodson emerged as the representative from Liberia, adding “We want to know who did the nomination, because the FA has starting searching for former female footballers to nominate.”

The local football house has also informed FIFA that Rochelle Woodson was expelled from the Executive Committee of the Liberia Football Association regarding misconduct exhibited in Zimbabwe during Liberia’s 3-0 lost to the Warriors of Zimbabwe last year.
