The harder the journey, the stronger you become. We've played Africa big guns as under duck. We were able to shared point With the African giant ''Nigeria'', We still holds on the same strength against Africa best ''Algeria'' and was able to shared point, today, we played a mighty team called Côte d'Ivoire, yet, we came out with equal shared point. Amazing, try Leone stars. Congratulations to everyone involved in teams progression. You'll should know here that the first name given to Sierra Leone was Sierra leo ''meaning, lion mountain''. Here's the rore of the lion, the lion is ready for it. Sierra Leone ''Lion'', we go!!!
