Monrovia – The Liberia Football Association (LFA) has received a warning from the world football governing body, FIFA over ongoing legal maneuvers aimed at halting the association’s elective congress scheduled for April 18, 2026. “Recourse to ordinary courts of law is prohibited unless specifically provided for in FIFA regulations,” the letter stated. The global body warned that any breach of these provisions, regardless of whether the LFA leadership initiated the court action, could result in Liberia being barred from global competitions. FIFA also reaffirmed the LFA’s autonomy in managing its internal affairs, including the setting of eligibility criteria for candidates. The LFA has been instructed to keep FIFA apprised of all legal developments.
