In a dazzling display at the CAF Gala held ahead of the 46th CAF Ordinary General Assembly which took place on Tuesday October 22 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Sierra Leonean football legend Mohamed Kallon made headlines with a stellar performance, scoring four goals to lead his team, CAF FC, to a 7-3 triumph over a squad of African football icons. Kallon, playing alongside CAF President Patrice Motsepe and other prominent CAF Executive Committee members, showcased his skills and charisma, making this his first appearance at a CAF Congress one to remember.
The match was a thrilling display of talent, with Kallon’s side facing off against legendary names in African football, including Senegal’s El Hadji Diouf, Nigeria’s Jay Jay Okocha, Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o, and fellow Sierra Leonean Rodney Strasser. Despite the formidable opposition, Kallon’s impressive performance was key to CAF FC’s victory, reminding fans of his prowess on the field.
The CAF FC team featured notable figures from African football governance, including Isha Johansen, the first FIFA Council member from Sierra Leone and CAF Committee member, who contributed off the bench. Meanwhile, Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) President Thomas Daddy Brima took charge on the sidelines, managing the technical strategies that ultimately secured the 7-3 win.
Reflecting on his experience, Kallon expressed gratitude to SLFA President Brima and his executive team for providing him with the opportunity to participate in the prestigious event. He celebrated the chance to engage with high-profile figures in African football administration and reconnect with former teammates and African legends. Eager for future opportunities, Kallon looked forward to further contributions to the sport on the African continent.
