The North East Region Football Association (NERFA) is saddened by the tragic news of the loss of 8 players from 5 communities in Makeni, Bombali District.
The players are said to have been involved in a fatal road accident between Makoth and Makarie/Freetown highway on 28th of February 2021 on their way to Makeni after playing a successful Community Football Gala in Batkanu.
NERFA is expressing heartfelt condolences to the Bombali District Football Association (BDFA) and the families of the departed souls. We stand in solidarity with the BDFA and families at this trying time.
As a sign of respect for our departed brothers, the NERFA has therefore suspended all football activities within the Bombali District until the players are laid to rest as it continues to monitor and pray for the speedy recovery of other players who are in critical condition in hospital.
