Today, we celebrate not only Liberia's 2-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau in the ongoing U-20 WAFU A U-20 Girls Tournament held in Guinea-Bissau but also honor two remarkable daughters of Lofa County, Makula Konneh and Makasia Saryon.
We proudly commend Makula Konneh, who was awarded Woman of the Match honors. Just a few years ago, she worked as an ordinary mechanic in a local garage in Voinjama, Lofa County. Her journey began when the Liberia Football Association introduced formal Women's League Football to Lofa County during the 2020-2021 season as part of its Women's Football Development program.
Makasia Saryon, who scored Liberia's opening goal in the tournament against Guinea-Bissau, also has an inspiring background. She was a street seller a few years ago, selling in Voinjama to support her family. Today, her dedication has propelled her to represent her country, defending not only Wologizi Lioness, or Lofa County but Liberia as a whole.
These two footballers played for Wologizi Lioness in the LFA Lofa Sub-Association Regional Women's League before transferring to another female football club in the nation's capital, Monrovia, to pursue their football dreams. Their success highlights their talent and determination.
We extend our gratitude to the Liberia Football Association and the Women's Football Department, especially Mr. Francis A. Tamba, the former Manager of the Women's Football Department, came to Lofa to officially launch the Lower Women's League in Voinjama, Lofa County.
Additionally, we thank Mr. John Acorolson Tamba, CEO and President of Wologizi Lioness Female Football Club, along with the entire management team, for creating opportunities that nurture young female Football players.
Indeed, as the saying goes, Empower Her, Inspire Greatness. Congratulations to Makula Konneh and Makasia Saryon for demonstrating discipline, resilience, and perseverance on their inspiring journeys
