SIERRA LEONE. Freetown: Sierra Leone Football legend Mohammed Kallon had his bid for the presidency of the country’s football Association rejected.
The former Inter Milan Forward was nominated by the Urban Districts Football League only for the country’s FA to allege that their application flouted some nominated procedures.
In a statement made available to local media, the Urban Districts Football League says the FA claims the League secretariat did not provide minutes of the last meeting.
The meeting nominated Kallon and other members vying for other positions.
“This is unfair and request investigations and review of the process,” says the League in the statement.
