The Liberia Football Association (LFA), in collaboration with the British Embassy in Monrovia, has officially dedicated two renovated dressing rooms for female footballers at the Blue Field in the PHP Community.
The project, funded by the British Embassy, was commissioned on Saturday, March 14, and is aimed at improving facilities for girls involved in football by providing a safe and comfortable environment for training and match preparation.
Speaking during the dedication ceremony, British Head of Mission and Chargé d’Affaires Simon Tooth praised the partnership with the LFA and reaffirmed the Embassy’s commitment to supporting initiatives that empower young Liberian girls through sports.
He noted that the refurbished changing rooms will offer a dignified and private space for female players, including development and national team athletes, as they prepare for training and competition.
LFA Third Vice President Jodie M. Reid-Seton expressed appreciation to the British Embassy, describing the initiative as a major step toward strengthening women’s football in Liberia.
According to her, the renovated facilities represent more than infrastructure improvements, emphasizing that they form part of the LFA’s broader vision to create better opportunities and environments for young female talent to thrive.
Also speaking at the event, Minister of Youth and Sports Cornelia W. Kruah commended the British Embassy for supporting Liberian sports and creating a safe space for aspiring athletes. She encouraged continued collaboration to inspire and nurture the next generation of sports stars. The upgraded dressing rooms feature six modern showers, four toilets, and a fully functional running water system, providing improved comfort and hygiene for female footballers using the Blue Field facility.
