It has been reported that Tijani Sheku Brima, the former competition officer for Eastern Region Football Association (EFRA), passed away on Tuesday. The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) expressed their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
Football stakeholders in Kenema have also requested that Kamboi Eagles, the city's Sierra Leone Premier League team, wear a black arm band in their upcoming match against FC Kallon as a show of respect for the late Tijani Sheku Brima. The EFRA has proposed observing a minute of silence before the start of the match as well.
However, for these requests to be granted, they must be presented and approved at the protocol meeting before the said match.
