Sierra Leonean Women's Football Sees New Leadership Amidst Continued Growth

The remarkable ascent of women's football in Sierra Leone can be directly attributed to the foundational efforts of former Premier League Board Chairpersons Asmaa James and Catherine Sillah. Their tireless dedication, alongside their respective board members, established a robust framework that propelled the sport to unprecedented heights.

Building upon this significant progress, the Honourable Mariatu Rachel Sesay Pessima has been appointed as the new Premier League Board Chairperson for the upcoming 2025/2026 season.

Hon. Sesay Pessima brings a wealth of experience, passion, and a clear vision for the women's game, making her a highly respected figure within football administration. She has articulated a strong commitment to leveraging past successes and translating her strategic initiatives into tangible realities, thereby ensuring the sustained upward trajectory of women's football in Sierra Leone.

With a commitment to leadership continuity and a sharp focus on developmental strategies, the women's game in Sierra Leone is exceptionally well-positioned for even greater achievements in the seasons to come.
