Africa-Press – Liberia. Despite representing the Netherlands at youth level, he remains fully eligible for the Lone Star through his father, Coach Chris Wesseh, the former goalkeeper trainer of the national team
A promising new chapter may be unfolding for Liberian football, but the country risks missing out again.
A young goalkeeper with deep Liberian roots, Amos Wesseh, is making headlines in the Netherlands yet the Liberia Football Association (LFA) has reportedly not made any contact with the rising star.
At 24 years of age, Wesseh, who plays for Rohda Raalte in the Derde Divisie A in Holland, has emerged as one of the most exciting goalkeeping prospects linked to Liberia.
Despite representing the Netherlands at youth level, he remains fully eligible for the Lone Star through his father, Coach Chris Wesseh, the former goalkeeper trainer of the national team.
A Bright Start in the Dutch Division
In just two appearances this season, Wesseh has delivered performances that command attention.
His record for the 2025/26 Derde Divisie A campaign speaks for itself, Two games. Two clean sheets. Zero goals conceded.
A flawless start to the season for a goalkeeper whose confidence, positioning, and command of his backline have been praised by Dutch analysts.
A Hidden Treasure for Liberia
While his club performances have sparked interest in the Netherlands, the bigger story especially for Liberians is his eligibility to represent the Lone Star. And even more importantly, his openness to do so.
FrontPage Africa has learned that young Wesseh has stated clearly that he would be honored to represent the country of his father, a statement that should ring loudly in the offices of the LFA.
Yet according to reliable sources close to the player, no official communication has been made by Liberian football authorities.
A Missed Opportunity in the Making?
Liberia has been battling a prolonged goalkeeping crisis since the retirement of national team icon Nathaniel Sherman.
The country has tried multiple keepers since, but consistency and long-term stability have remained poor.
Now discovering a young, European-trained goalkeeper with Liberian heritage should be a moment of celebration and swift action But instead, there is silence.
With the goalkeeping position still a problem Wesseh looks exactly the type of talent Liberia needs to move for immediately.
Other nations don’t wait. They act. Liberia must not repeat past mistakes.
Why the Delay?
Questions are now being raised about the country’s scouting network, its responsiveness to emerging diaspora players, and whether bureaucracy or lack of coordination is holding the Lone Star back at a crucial moment.
In today’s competitive football world, federations often scout across continents to identify eligible talents. Liberia, however, risks being left behind if it cannot capitalize on opportunities like this.
A Keeper Ready for the Call
Amos Wesseh represents more than just potential; he represents hope.
Hope for stability in a position that has troubled Liberia for years.
Hope for a future built on modern, internationally trained talent.
Hope that the Lone Star may finally find the long-term shot-stopper it has been dreaming of.
But hope means little without action.
The Ball Is in LFA’s Court
With Wesseh’s strong start in Holland and his willingness to commit to Liberia, the LFA stands at a decisive point.
Making contact could open the door for a new era in goalkeeping, one that ends the long-standing vacuum left after Sherman’s departure.
The only question now: Will the LFA make the first move?
