Sierra Leone has on Monday, June 1, 2026, named a 25-man squad for next month’s international friendlies against regional rivals Liberia, with caretaker coach John Keister set to lead the Leone Stars in the two-match series.
The squad blends experienced internationals with emerging talent as Sierra Leone continues preparations for future continental and global competitions.
Key attacking names include experienced Sullay KaiKai, Mustapha Bundu, Mohamed Buya Turay and Amadou Bakayoko, while highly rated Manchester City defender Abdulai Juma Bah and forward Daniel Kanu are among the younger players selected.
The Leone Stars will host Liberia at the Southern Arena in Bo City on June 6 before travelling to Monrovia for the return fixture at the SKD Sports Complex on June 9.
Amidst coaching uncertainty, the scheduled matches will offer Keister an opportunity to assess his squad, strengthen team chemistry, and evaluate new options as Sierra Leone seeks to build momentum on the international stage.
The Mano River Union neighbours share a longstanding football rivalry, and the two friendlies are expected to provide a competitive test for both sides despite their non-competitive status.
With a mix of established performers and rising prospects, Sierra Leone’s latest squad signals a continued focus on squad development and long-term team building ahead of upcoming international assignments.
