Two new faces were drafted to the Sierra Leone A team from U23 as they hit the Fujairah training pitch with head coach John Keister during their United Arab Emirates (UAE) training camp.  

Jay Tee Kamara from Columbus Crew and Mohamed Kabia Mbabane Swallows were brilliant against Zambia during U23 African Cup of Nations matches last month.

As well as offering developmental experiences to some players selected, the trip will support Sierra Leone Men’s Test preparation for their African Cup of Nations doubleheader next year.

Sixteen foreign-based players were part of the team out on the grass as they re-group to bounce back from DRC and South Africa defeats.

Check out some images of their first session lasted for an hour and a half at the Fujairah training facility on Tuesday.

Sierra Leone National A team, Leone Stars, have opened a week-long training camp in the United Arab Emirates with sixteen foreign-based players and six home-based stars.

Football Sierra Leone understands the full contingent arrived safely en route from Guinea for Dubai ahead of two expected matches during their training in Dubai.

Players and officials will reside at the Concorde Hotel in Fujairah as this training camp will be part of head coach John Keister’s preparation for next year’s doubleheader against Sao Tome in March 2023.

This medium gathered that Sierra Leone could probably face Kuwait on the 16th before taking on the Desert Warriors of Algeria on the 19th of November, respectively, at the Fujairah Club Stadium.

As well as offering developmental experiences to some players selected, the trip will support Sierra Leone men’s preparation for their African Cup of Nations doubleheader next year.
