Sierra Leone’s nationwide soccer crew, the Leone Stars, is not going to be collaborating within the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) following Zambia’s 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast on Friday.
This outcome secured Zambia’s prime place in Group Q of the qualifiers, eliminating Sierra Leone from competition.
Despite a hard-fought 1-1 draw towards Chad on Wednesday, Sierra Leone’s hopes have been pinned on an Ivory Coast win towards Zambia. With Zambia’s victory, even a win of their last group recreation towards Zambia in Monrovia on November nineteenth wouldn’t be sufficient for the Leone Stars to qualify.
This information comes as a disappointment to followers who have been hopeful after the crew’s current draw towards Chad. The Leone Stars had a powerful begin within the qualifiers however in the end fell quick in securing a spot within the match, which will likely be hosted in Morocco.
The focus now shifts to the longer term because the Leone Stars look to regroup and rebuild for upcoming competitions.
