George Davies pens Flyeralarm Admira deal

Austrian Liga 2 side Flyeralarm have confirmed the signing of Sierra Leone International midfielder George Davies until the summer of 2024. 

“The 26-year-old midfielder from Sierra Leone, who last worked at SKN St. Pölten, has been given a contract until the summer of 2024, the club announced on Monday. 

George has always been a consideration for us in past transfer windows. He has tremendous speed, is strong in one-on-ones and can be used on both the right and left flank. After consulting coach Rolf Landerl, it was also one of his wishes that we sign him,” explains sports director Marcel Ketelaer. 

Davies has already played 58 Bundesliga and 44 second-division games in Austria.

The club were promoted to the Austrian Bundesliga for the 2011–12 season after gaining promotion at the end of the 2010–11 First League season and finished 3rd in their first season.

They faced relegation from the Austrian Austrian Bundesliga in the 2021 -2022 seasons.

Defender David Simbo enjoying football at Neroca

Former Mighty Blackpool defender David Simbo says the competitiveness in the India I League keeps him striving to produce his best football at Neroca.

Simbo was in the tick of action against former club Gokulam Kerala in their goalless draw at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri on Thursday. 

The draw ended Gokulam Kerala winning run at home in their match day eight of the new campaign.

Simbo, 33, has been instrumental since joining Neroca. The former Al-Hilal and Krumkachy Minsk defender last season traded his football with Gokulam Kerala FC in the South Asia country.

“I am delighted and grateful – to be playing regular football weekly here in India I League. I was named captain by the technical team for a reason,” he told FSL News.

“If you are following the league, you will know how seriously the authorities are working to develop football here. People talk negatively about the India League, but I couldn’t have wished for a better setting. 

The competitiveness has been a real test for me. As a footballer, It’s always pleasing to be involved where you are valued. I am enjoying it here, no doubt,” Simbo reaffirmed.

The Sierra Leone international missed out on the African Cup of Nations due to not having a club but was part of the side that played goalless to Lesotho in March 2021 during the qualification campaign at  Setsoto Stadium Maseru.

He started his playing career with boyhood club Mighty Blackpool in 2007 before departing to join Norwegian side Raufoss in 2009. 

Simbo has had spells at Motala, Trelleborg (loan), Boden, Sandviken, Al-HilalNajranKrumkachy Minsk, Yeni Amasyaspor and Gokulam Kerala

CAF Champions League group stage draw confirmed

The group stage draw for the 2022-23 CAF Champions League was confirmed on Monday afternoon in Cairo as familiar foes reunited again.

Group B will see an almost familiar line up to last season with record champions Al Ahly, Mamelodi Sundowns and Sudan’s Al Hilal drawn together once again. They will be joined in the group by Cameroon’s Cotonsport.

During the competition last term, they were drawn in Group A where Sundowns finished the group unbeaten, hitting Ahly home and away.

Defending champions Wydad Athletic Club have been drawn in Group A and are also re-uniting with a side they face in the group stages last year, Petro de Luanda. They lost to the Angolan giants in Luanda, but had revenge with a massive 5-1 victory in the corresponding tie in Casablanca.

Group C will meanwhile see an interesting East African battle with Simba SC of Tanzania drawn together with Ugandan debutants Vipers SC. They are joined in the group by Morocco’s Raja Club Athletic and Guinea’s Horoya.

Group D will meanwhile play host to some tantalizing North African derbies, with Tunisia’s Esperance, Egypt’s Zamalek and Algeria’s CR Belouizdad all drawn together. Joining them in the group is Sudan’s El Merrikh.

The group phase will kick off in February, just after the conclusion of the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Algeria in January.

I was pleased we won against a difficult side, and hopefully, I will continue to help the team to get more wins.”

Since joining the club, Kamara made his first two appearances for Horoya in the first edition of the West Africa Champions Cup played at the Yorokoguia sports complex in August.

Kamara, 23, was in the Horoya AC side that defeated Djoliba AC 2-1 in the opener of the West Africa Champion’s Cup back on August 21.

The Sierra Leonean sensation of the 2021 African Cup of Nation joined Horoya Athletic Club on a two-year deal in May 2022.

Rangers, Republicans share spoils as Lions humble Lamboi

Rangers, Republicans share spoils as Lions humble Lamboi

Defending champions Bo Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw by newly promoted side Real Republicans on Friday at the Bo Stadium. 

A bright start for Real Republicans – the Soccer Ambassadors after their long absence in the top flight. 

Real Republicans were up for a difficult task away from home. Both sides failed to score in the opening 45 minutes despite the few chances created. 

Late In the second half, the visitors opened their account through Ibrahim Sorie Conteh’s 88-minute goal. Substitute Fleance Kamara draws parity for the reigning champions. 

Rangers Lamin Kargbo was named Man of the Match in friday’s opener against Republicans.

Elsewhere, East End Lions kickstart their campaign with a 3-1 win over newly promoted side Lamboi FC of Lungi Town. 

The Killers were brilliant as they recorded two quick goals in the opening 10 minutes from new striker Sulaiman S. Kargbo and left-back Mohamed A.K Koroma, aka Ajay.

Centre-back Abdul Razack Conteh accounted for their third in the 49th minute before a consolation from Lamboi FC Skipper Basiru Olu Koroma, who scored from a rebound of Striker Sheka Noah Kamara’s missed penalty in the 55 minutes. 

History 

It’s worth mentioning that Lamboi FC’s Skipper Basiru Olu Koroma scored the club’s first-ever goal in the history of the Sierra Leone Premier League. However, not enough for a comeback as the league’s debutant struggled to match the prowess of the Killers.

After a glittering display, Lions Left Back Mohamed A.K. Koroma was named Man of the Match by match-day technical observers.

FC Kallon played a 2-2 draw against Bai Bureh Warriors in Portloko as Central Parade defeated East End Tigers in Magburaka on Saturday.

Morocco make World Cup history after beating Portugal

Morocco make World Cup history after beating Portugal

Morocco made history by becoming the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final after beating Portugal 1-0 at Al Thumama Stadium, Doha on Saturday. 

The previous three African sides to reach a quarter-final were eliminated – Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002 and Ghana in 2010.

It was a strong start for Morocco, scoring just before half-time when Youssef En-Nesyri beat the Portuguese keeper to a cross to head home.

Star striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who had started the game on the bench, was brought on early in the second half as Portugal searched for an equalise.

But despite coming under sustained pressure for large parts of the second half, the Atlas Lions held firm and had a chance in injury time to score a second.

Morocco forward Walid Cheddira was given two yellow cards in seconds, forcing his side to see the game to the final minutes with ten men.

Morocco will face France in the last four on Wednesday at the Al Bayt Stadium for a place in the final.
