Liberia: LFA Executive Committee Allegedly Plans to Exclude FC Fassell President Kuoh from Congress

Although the full agenda for the meeting has not been disclosed, it is believed that the topic of Kuoh’s suspension in 2017 may be raised. Monrovia – A reliable source within the Liberia Football Association (LFA) has informed FrontPageAfrica that some members of the Executive Committee are working to prevent FC Fassell President Cassell Kuoh from attending the LFA Congress scheduled for April 12, 2025.

According to the source, while it is customary to hold a pre-congress meeting, one of the key discussions expected is ensuring Kuoh’s exclusion from the Congress. The source expressed concern that some members of the Executive Committee are dissatisfied with the situation, but there are others who support the leadership’s decision.

“Kuoh should be on alert, as they are trying to exclude him at all costs,” the source stated.

Although the full agenda for the meeting has not been disclosed, it is believed that the topic of Kuoh’s suspension in 2017 may be raised. There are rumors circulating within football circles about potential actions against him as the Congress approaches. Kuoh, a prominent figure in Liberian football and a leading opposition candidate to incumbent LFA President Mustapha Raji in the 2026 elections, has yet to comment on the plan to block him from attending the Congress.

This year’s Congress will play a critical role in shaping the future leadership of Liberian football, with stakeholders closely watching the LFA’s decisions. Furthermore, some rumors suggest that stakeholders may propose Kuoh’s expulsion during the Congress, arguing that his suspension in 2017 renders him ineligible to attend, despite having attended two Congresses since his return to Liberia. However, former LFA President Musa Bility has dismissed these claims, clarifying that Kuoh resigned from his position as Vice President for Operations (VPO) in 2016, rather than being expelled. LFA Vice President for Administration, Sekou Konneh, also downplayed the rumors, stating that pre-congress meetings are typically held to review the agenda before the official Congress. “The Executive Committee usually holds pre-congress meetings to review the agenda, and I believe this year’s edition is not aimed at targeting anyone,” Konneh explained.
