Report by Christopher C. Walker 00231886723075 / 00231777898224 [email protected]The Liberian referee on March 30, 2019, died at the Samuel K. Doe Sports Complex during a fitness test for referees, organized by LFRA. The young match official ran seven rounds during the fitness test but could not continue and fall to the ground minutes after admitting that he was unable to complete the fitness test. According to the referee association, Massaquoi was a dedicated class “D” member of the Liberia Football Referee Association and is saddened by his passing. Mr. Kamara disclosed that Massaquoi attended two different fitness courses, including a FIFA- sponsored course which he passed but it was surprising for him to fail the fitness test at SKD. When asked if there was a medical test on the referees before the fitness test, Lamin did not answer.
