Aletha Massaquoi Liberia Football Association

In celebration of her birthday on June 27, Aletha Massaquoi, Acting Womenโ€™s Football Manager at the Liberia Football Association (LFA), is launching a powerful new initiative titled โ€œCelebrating Life with Football.โ€ The kickoff event will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at the SKD Practice Sports Pitch.

Aletha Massaquoi explains that this initiative is designed to support and empower female footballers across Liberia by raising funds for scholarships and creating sustainable job opportunities for players transitioning out of the sport.

โ€œWe all know that women in football face a lot of challenges due to cultural barriers,โ€ Massaquoi stated. โ€œBut together, we can make a difference.โ€

Miss Massaquoi said the day will feature a short tournament, including both womenโ€™s and menโ€™s teams, promoting camaraderie, inclusion, and sportsmanship.

She concluded that all proceeds raised will go toward educational support for female players, helping them access vocational training and formal education, equipping them for life beyond the pitch.

โ€œLetโ€™s turn out to make this a joyful and memorable day,โ€ Massaquoi concluded. โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to seeing you all on June 28, 2025, as we celebrate life, football, and the future of our women athletes.โ€
