The first leg qualifying encounter is to be played on July 24th – the return fixture billed for the 27th of this month at the same venue.
Coach Francis Zappa Koroma’s local Stars are presently based in the Eastern Province as they intensify their groundwork in readiness for the doubleheader.

The aggregate winner over two-legged matches will face Mali in the next stage.
Sierra Leone was eliminated by Senegal 4-2 on aggregate during the 2018 African Nations Championship qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Malian official Sory Ibrahima Keita will be in charge of this tie. Nouhoum Bamba is the R one, Amadou belly Guisse Amadu is the AR 2 and Abdoulaye Sissoko the foruth official.
