Sierra Leone’s national football team, Leone Stars, began their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign with a goalless draw against Chad.
The match, held today at the Samuel K. Doe Stadium in Liberia, saw both teams struggle to break the deadlock, resulting in a 0-0 stalemate.
Sierra Leone is placed in Group G, a challenging group that includes powerhouse teams like Ivory Coast and Zambia.
The road to qualification for the 2025 AFCON, which will be held in Morocco, is expected to be tough.
Despite the slow start, head coach Amidu Karim remains optimistic. Before the match, he expressed confidence in the team’s determination to secure a spot in the tournament.
Leone Stars are now focused on their next qualifier, where they aim to secure a crucial away victory against Zambia.
