According to SLAA President Martin Momoh Bangura, the local competitions are not only mandated by the National Sports Authority and the Ministry of Sports but also serve as a platform to identify and nurture talented athletes. We want athletes to perform at their best, and our selection for those representing Sierra Leone will be strictly based on performance.
