Issa Kallon, the talented footballer, has finally answered the call of the Sierra Leone national team, the Leone Stars. After missing out on previous call-ups, Kallon’s return to the squad is eagerly anticipated by Sierra Leoneans as the team prepares for the upcoming AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
Currently playing for Nantong Zhiyun F.C. in China, a team positioned at the bottom of the Chinese Super League, Kallon’s experience and ability could provide a significant boost to the Leone Stars under the leadership of coach Amidu Karim.
Despite the challenges faced by his club, Kallon’s potential return to the national team is seen as a positive development. His experience and skills could help strengthen the squad and potentially have a positive impact on the team’s performance in the crucial upcoming qualifiers.
Sierra Leoneans have been patiently waiting for Kallon’s return to the national team, and his decision to make himself available once again has been met with enthusiasm. The Leone Stars will be hoping that Kallon’s presence can help them secure a spot in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
