SLFA Waives Coaching Licence Fees for Female Coaches

The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) has announced a landmark decision aimed at boosting women’s participation in football leadership across the country.
In a press release issued on Thursday, 19 February 2026, SLFA President Babadi Kamara confirmed the immediate waiver of all coaching licence fees for female coaches in Sierra Leone.

According to the statement, the Executive Committee approved the policy as part of a broader strategy to strengthen women’s football and remove financial barriers that have historically limited female involvement in technical roles. Under the new directive, all women enrolling in SLFA coaching licence programmes—from Licence D through Licence A—will be exempted from paying course fees throughout the tenure of the current Executive Committee.
