MONROVIA — Condemnations have intensified following the decision of the Ministry of Youth and Sports to reschedule the disputed match between Grand Cape Mount County and Lofa County in the ongoing 2025/2026 National County Sports Meet. According to the Grievance and Ethics Committee, Lofa County breached tournament regulations by using players registered in the first division league, an action expressly prohibited under the National County Sports Meet rules. Based on this finding, the committee awarded the match to Grand Cape Mount County. “The ministry is trying too hard to allow Lofa County to qualify because President Joseph Boakai, Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah, and other top government officials are natives of Lofa County. The ministry must think about the long-term damage this causes to national unity,” he said.
