In Sierra Leone, they investigate possible match fixing for results of 91-1 and 95-0

scandal in Sierra Leone. Two promotion teams, who were looking to secure a playoff spot, are embroiled in potential match-fixing. Gulf F.C. defeated Ququima Lebanon 91-1 and the Kahunla Rangers beat Lumbebu United 95-0 in the Eastern Regional Super 10 League. There is currently an ongoing investigation into these incredible and never before seen results on a court.

At the end of the first half, Kahunla Rangers led only 2-0 against Lumbebu United before scoring more than 90 goals in the second half. While Gulf FC thrashed Ququima Lebanon 10-1 before game time.

The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), after learning of these results, issued an official statement stating that it maintains zero tolerance against match fixing in any form. In addition, he informed that he will comply with all the rules established by the FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) while the investigations continue.

CEO of Kahunla Rangers apologized

“I want to start by apologizing to fans and football lovers in general in the country and in the world in general, for the strange outcome of my club Kahunla Rangers match. Yesterday I was at the Kenema City pitch to watch the match between Lumbebu vs Kahunla Rangers.

I witnessed the first half of the match when my club (Kahunla Rangers) was leading by two goals, at the end of the first half of the match. I tried to get there to find out about the result in Kono and to my dismay Gulf was already beating Koquioma Lebanon 7-1.

I was surprised to hear such strange information considering the fact that Koquoima is not an underdog team that will bow easily to the Gulf. I left the Kenema City field dejected and went home to take a nap.

I was shocked to wake up at night to see a bunch of missed calls and messages on my mobile phones. It was then that I became aware of the manifestation of such a strange act. I want to firmly state that I strongly condemn this unsportsmanlike behavior displayed by my team and the other teams involved. This behavior goes against the principles of SLFA, CAF and FIFA in general.

With this, I am creating a Committee to investigate the entire team, including technical staff and executive members. Anyone who finds himself desiring will be delta with what corresponds. Finally, I want to apologize to all football-loving fans and football stakeholders for the unprofessional behavior of my club.”
