Sierra Leone’s U-17 football team suffered a devastating 5-0 defeat to Senegal in their recent match at the WAFU Zone A tournament.

This loss followed a disappointing performance in which they conceded four goals to The Gambia in their earlier match, bringing their total to an alarming nine goals conceded over just two games.

With these results, the Sierra Stars has been eliminated the tournament, which serves as a crucial qualifier for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

As they look to salvage themselves, their next game is against Mauritania in what will be their final group match. The pressure is on for Sierra Leone to perform and secure a victory.
