Monrovia – Former President and global football icon George Manneh Weah has hailed Grand Kru County’s performance in the 2025/2026 National County Sports Meet as “remarkable and historic,” despite the team’s 2–0 defeat to Nimba County in the football grand final. We need to keep this team together for the next County Meet,” Weah said. “Every year after the County Meet, we bring all the Grand Kru teams together to fellowship. Kickball: Margibi County emerged as champions after defeating Grand Cape Mount in the final, while Nimba took third place by edging out Grand Kru 1–0. Weah concluded by reminding the athletes that the National County Sports Meet remains a platform for national unity and talent discovery.
