SOUTHERN REGION DIVISION ONE LEAGUE 2026

ROUND 17 PREVIEW

With just two rounds remaining before the conclusion of the Southern Region Division One League, every point has become crucial as teams battle for promotion, survival, and pride. Round 17 promises excitement across all venues, with important encounters at both ends of the table.

IMPERI FOUNDATION VS PREMIER ACADEMY

Saturday, 13th June 2026 Rutile Field

This is undoubtedly the standout fixture of Round 17.

Premier Academy occupy second place on 34 points, while Imperi Foundation sit third with 33 points. Only one point separates the two sides, making this a direct battle in the race for the promotion playoff spot.

Imperi Foundation will be eager to capitalize on home advantage and leapfrog Premier Academy in the standings. A victory would move them into second place and strengthen their promotion ambitions.

Premier Academy, however, arrive in excellent form and know that another victory would further cement their position among the top teams while keeping pressure on league leaders Ram Kamara.

With two of the league's strongest teams facing off, fans should expect a tactical and highly competitive contest.

MAKPELE WARRIORS VS YAMBATUI STARS

Saturday, 13th June 2026 Zimmy Town

The relegation battle takes center stage in Zimmy Town.

Makpele Warriors remain in the relegation zone with just 8 points from 16 matches and desperately need a victory to keep their survival hopes alive.

Yambatui Stars are only seven points ahead on 15 points and cannot afford to relax. A win would almost certainly guarantee their safety, while defeat could drag them back into the relegation conversation heading into the final round.

With both teams fighting for survival, expect a fierce encounter where determination may matter just as much as quality.

WANJAMA STARS VS SEWA EAGLES

Sunday, 14th June 2026 Pujehun Town

Wanjama Stars have endured a difficult campaign and currently sit eighth with 8 points. Their survival hopes are hanging by a thread, making this a must-win encounter.

Sewa Eagles, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong second half of the season and are currently fifth on 24 points. Although they are no longer in contention for promotion, they will be determined to finish the campaign strongly.

The Eagles will start as favorites, but Wanjama Stars know that anything less than victory could leave them facing relegation.

Playing in front of their home supporters may provide the motivation Wanjama Stars need for one final push.

RAM KAMARA VS PAT FOUNDATION

Sunday, 14th June 2026 Bo Coronation Field

All eyes will be on Bo Coronation Field as league leaders Ram Kamara host fourth-placed Pat Foundation.

Ram Kamara remain unbeaten after 15 matches and lead the table with 37 points. Another victory would move them significantly closer to securing the championship and promotion playoff place.

Pat Foundation, however, have been one of the league's most consistent sides and currently sit fourth with 31 points. While their promotion hopes have become more difficult, they still have plenty to play for and will be eager to upset the league leaders.

The first meeting between these two sides was highly competitive, and this encounter is expected to be no different.

For Ram Kamara, maintaining their unbeaten record will be the objective. For Pat Foundation, this is an opportunity to prove they can compete with the very best.

ROUND 17 AT A GLANCE

The promotion race remains wide open between Ram Kamara, Premier Academy, Imperi Foundation, and Pat Foundation.

At the other end, Wanjama Stars and Makpele Warriors are fighting to avoid relegation, while Yambatui Stars will be aiming to secure their Division One status for another season.

With only two rounds remaining, every goal, every point, and every result could prove decisive.

Round 17 promises drama, intensity, and football at its very best as the Southern Region Division One League enters its decisive stage.

Southern Region Stakeholders Contribute to Development of Sierra Leone Women's Football Strategy

The Southern Region Football Association (SRFA) on Thursday, 4th June 2026, hosted a key stakeholder consultation as part of the Sierra Leone Football Association's ongoing nationwide exercise to develop a comprehensive Women's Football Strategy aimed at guiding the growth and advancement of the women's game over the next four years.

The consultative meeting brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including former female footballers, active players, coaches, club officials, football administrators, referees, and members of the media from across the Southern Region. The engagement provided participants with an opportunity to discuss challenges, opportunities, and practical solutions necessary for the sustainable development of women's football in Sierra Leone.

Secretary General Welcomes Participants

Delivering the opening remarks, the Secretary General of the Southern Region Football Association, Mr. Yayah Mansaray, warmly welcomed all participants and extended special appreciation to the FIFA representatives and the Sierra Leone Football Association delegation for choosing the Southern Region as part of the national consultation process.

Mr. Mansaray commended the leadership of the Sierra Leone Football Association, particularly SLFA President Mr. Thomas Daddy Brima Babadi Kamara, for his continued commitment to the development of women's football throughout the country. He noted that the consultation reflects the Association's determination to create more opportunities for women and girls in football and to ensure the game reaches greater heights nationally and internationally.

He encouraged participants to take the exercise seriously by contributing meaningful ideas and recommendations that would help shape a practical and inclusive strategy capable of addressing the needs of women's football at all levels.

According to him, the future success of the women's game depends largely on the collective efforts and contributions of stakeholders who understand the realities, challenges, and opportunities within the football ecosystem.

Building a Roadmap for Women's Football

Addressing participants, SLFA Women's Football Manager, Madam Elizabeth Kailey, explained that the strategy is intended to serve as a long-term roadmap for the sustainable growth and development of women's football in Sierra Leone.

She emphasized the importance of stakeholder participation in the process, assuring attendees that their views and recommendations would play a significant role in shaping the final strategy document.

Madam Kailey highlighted a number of achievements recorded in women's football over recent years, including the expansion of organized women's competitions, improved performances at regional tournaments, increased support from development partners, strengthened safeguarding measures, improved governance structures, and enhanced collaboration with FIFA and CAF.

Despite these gains, she acknowledged that challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited financial resources, and the need to improve competitiveness at international level remain critical issues requiring collective action.

FIFA Reaffirms Commitment to Women's Football Development

The consultation was facilitated by FIFA Women's Football Technical Expert, Thuba Sibanda, and FIFA Women's Football Manager, Tsholofelo Sethoko, who both stressed the importance of aligning Sierra Leone's development plans with FIFA's global vision for women's football.

Speaking during the session, Thuba Sibanda outlined the key objectives of the consultation process, noting that the exercise seeks to identify existing challenges affecting women's football at grassroots and elite levels, develop practical and sustainable solutions, prioritize areas for investment, strengthen stakeholder ownership, and establish effective implementation and accountability mechanisms.

The FIFA representatives encouraged stakeholders to be open and constructive throughout the discussions to ensure the strategy responds effectively to the realities facing women's football in Sierra Leone.

Call for Collective Action

Also addressing participants, SLFA Executive Committee Member and Head of Women's Football, Madam Haja Ramatulai Kamara, expressed appreciation to stakeholders for their commitment and active participation.

She encouraged participants to make meaningful contributions that would help create a strategy capable of addressing current challenges while laying a solid foundation for the future growth of women's football.

Madam Kamara reaffirmed the commitment of the Sierra Leone Football Association to promoting football development across all regions of the country and ensuring that women and girls are provided with greater opportunities to participate and excel in the sport.

Group Discussions and Recommendations

The consultation concluded with participants engaging in group discussions and presentations across five key thematic areas:

• Grassroots and Youth Development

• Competitions

• Governance

• Media and Marketing

• Capacity Building

Participants presented recommendations and practical solutions aimed at improving participation, strengthening football structures, enhancing visibility, and creating sustainable pathways for female footballers throughout Sierra Leone.

The recommendations gathered from the Southern Region consultation will form part of the broader national process that will eventually produce Sierra Leone's Women's Football Strategy.

Looking Ahead

As a key stakeholder in football development, the Southern Region Football Association remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote the growth of women's football and create opportunities for female players, coaches, referees, administrators, and other stakeholders.

The consultation marks another important step in the collective effort to build a stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable future for women's football in Sierra Leone, ensuring that the voices and experiences of stakeholders continue to shape the development of the game for generations to come.

SRFA Division One League 2026 – Week 14 Preview

The race for promotion and the battle to avoid relegation continue this weekend as the SRFA Division One League enters another important round of fixtures. With only a few matches left before the end of the season, every point has become crucial for clubs chasing different ambitions.

Imperi Foundation FC vs Seaside Rangers FC

Imperi Foundation will be hoping to bounce back strongly after suffering a narrow defeat to league leaders Ram Kamara in their previous outing. Currently sitting fourth on the table with games in hand, Imperi know that victory could quickly bring them back into the promotion conversation.

Seaside Rangers, meanwhile, have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks and managed to secure an important draw against Wanjama Stars in Week 13. They remain a difficult side to break down and will be hoping to frustrate Imperi once again.

For Imperi Foundation, this is a must-win encounter if they want to keep pressure on the top three. Seaside Rangers, however, will be aiming to cause another upset and move further away from the lower end of the table.

Sewa Eagles FC vs Ram Kamara FC – The Biggest Rivalry

One of the biggest fixtures of the weekend will take place at the Bo Coronation Field as Sewa Eagles host unbeaten leaders Ram Kamara FC in what many consider the biggest rivalry in the competition.

Although Sewa Eagles have struggled for consistency this season, they are always highly motivated whenever they come up against Ram Kamara. Matches between these two clubs are often tense, competitive, and unpredictable regardless of league form.

Ram Kamara won the first-leg encounter and will now look to continue their remarkable unbeaten run at the top of the table. Their form has been outstanding throughout the campaign, and another victory would strengthen their push for the national playoff spot.

Sewa Eagles, on the other hand, see this as the perfect opportunity to revive their season and prove they can still compete against the strongest teams in the league. Fans should expect a passionate and hard-fought derby encounter.

Wanjama Stars FC vs Makpele Warriors FC – Pujehun District Derby

Another major derby awaits in Pujehun as Wanjama Stars host district rivals Makpele Warriors FC. Despite both teams struggling near the bottom half of the table, local pride alone is enough to make this one of the most anticipated fixtures of the week.

Wanjama Stars won the first-leg meeting away from home and will now be aiming to complete a league double in front of their supporters. After picking up an encouraging draw against Seaside Rangers, they will head into this game with renewed confidence.

Makpele Warriors continue to endure a difficult campaign, but derby matches often produce surprises. They will be desperate to prove a point against their rivals and secure a result that could lift morale within the club.

With emotions, pride, and bragging rights at stake, this encounter could go either way regardless of current standings.

Yambatui Stars FC vs Pat Foundation FC

Pat Foundation travel to Moyamba knowing that they cannot afford to drop points in the title race. Currently level on points with Premier Academy and closely chasing Ram Kamara, every remaining fixture is crucial for their ambitions.

Yambatui Stars, however, have shown they are capable of producing strong performances at home. Their victory in Week 12 boosted confidence, and they will be eager to challenge one of the league’s top sides once again.

Pat Foundation’s discipline and defensive organisation have been among their biggest strengths this season, but they must remain focused against a Yambatui side that will be highly motivated in front of their home supporters.

Another exciting weekend of football awaits across the Southern Region as clubs continue their fight for promotion, pride, and survival in the SRFA Division One League 2026.

Wanjama Stars showed determination and resilience to secure an important away point against Seaside Rangers at the Bo Coronation Field. Despite the difficulties surrounding the club in recent weeks, they managed to put in a disciplined performance and avoided defeat.

Seaside Rangers, on the other hand, will feel disappointed not to have taken all three points at home. The draw means they continue to struggle for consistency as the season enters a crucial stage.

The visitors controlled large parts of the match and showed their quality both defensively and in attack. The result keeps Premier Academy firmly in the race for the top positions as they continue to apply pressure on the leading teams.

Makpele Warriors once again found it difficult to match the intensity of their opponents. Despite signs of improvement in recent weeks, they remain deep in the relegation battle and will need positive results quickly to revive their season.

PAT Foundation FC 1-0 Sewa Eagles FC

PAT Foundation secured a narrow but valuable victory over Sewa Eagles in one of the most competitive fixtures of the weekend.

The match was closely contested, with both sides creating opportunities, but PAT Foundation managed to edge the encounter with a decisive goal that proved enough to claim all three points.

The victory keeps PAT Foundation strongly in contention near the top of the table, while Sewa Eagles missed the chance to close the gap on the leading teams.

Ram Kamara FC 1-0 Imperi Foundation FC

The victory extends Ram Kamara’s lead at the top of the table and strengthens their push toward qualification for the national playoff stage.

Imperi Foundation, despite the defeat, remain one of the strongest sides in the competition and will look to bounce back in the coming fixtures.

The Southern Region Football Association has successfully concluded a two-day Safety and Security Training held at the Southern Arena Stadium, bringing together Division One clubs, Venue Security Officers, and football administrators from across the region.

The training, which took place on Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9, formed part of ongoing efforts to strengthen matchday safety, improve security coordination, and enhance overall game management within the Southern Region.

The program was officially opened by the Chairman of the Bo District Football Association, Ahmed Bangura, who welcomed participants and encouraged them to take the training seriously. He reminded attendees that the safety and smooth conduct of future football matches largely depend on the knowledge and commitment of trained personnel.

The training sessions commenced under the leadership of lead facilitator Mr. Mohamed B Freeman. Over the course of the two days, participants were taken through intensive classroom sessions and field practicals covering key areas of football safety and security management.

Other facilitators, including James Blake, Suzan Sarah Koiwa, and Mohamed Ansumana, worked alongside the lead facilitator to deliver practical and technical guidance to participants.

The closing session was conducted by the Secretary General of the Southern Region Football Association, Yayah Mansaray, who encouraged participants to return to their respective communities and ensure that football matches are played in a safe and secure environment.

Mr Mansaray also expressed appreciation to the President of the Sierra Leone Football Association, Babadi Kamara, for fulfilling his promise of decentralizing football development programs by extending important trainings to the regions.

He assured participants that the initiative marks only the beginning of several capacity-building programs expected to take place under the current football administration, noting that the region had earlier benefited from a training program for referee assessors.

The training ended with the presentation of certificates to all participants in recognition of their successful completion of the program.
