The Liberia Football Association (LFA) through the Women’s Football Department, had a successful launch of its four-year strategic plan on Friday, 18 October attended by CAF and WAFU dignitaries, including representatives from UN Women Liberia and the Ministry of Sports and Information.

The strategic plan, which runs from 2024 to 2027, aims to establish structures to help develop the game from the grassroots level to the international teams.

Guest Speaker Meskerem Goshine, CAF Head of Women Football, was gratified by the LFA by extension to 3rd Vice President Jodie Seton and the Women’s Football Department for promoting gender equality and empowering young girls and women through its football strategic plan.

Madam Goshine said the launch marks a landmark development of women’s football in Liberia and a reflection of the strong commitment of the LFA to provide a roadmap for addressing key issues in women’s football for the next four years.

“This initiative marks a pivotal moment for the development of women’s football in Liberia and reflects the strong commitment by the LFA and the people of Liberia to promote gender equality and to empower women in football.

“This is a profile investment into the future of women’s football in Liberia. By prioritizing the girls and the development of the women’s game, the LFA is laying the foundation for great opportunity for young female players,” Madam Goshine said.

The Head of CAF Women Football also mentioned their presence at the LFA Strategic Plan Launch as a statement that CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, Secretary General Veron Mosengo-Omba and the whole CAF team, including Executive Committee member Mustapha Raji [LFA President], are behind the plan to make sure it is a reality.
