Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Konneh said, \u201cIt puts a lot of burden on you if you are running a club without an administrative structure. I know some of you will say it is difficult to get people to volunteer because they want something from you at the end of the day.\u201d He continued, \u201cThe late T. Kpan Nimely, a Liberian folksinger, used to say, \u2018I am looking for something to eat, then something wants to eat me.\u2019 But basically, it is about how you encourage others to be a part of you. You are alone and can\u2019t carry this burden.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we call for the president\u2019s workshop, you are here. When we say secretary-generals, you are here. When we say team managers, you are here. So who are you now? Are you a Tarzan that will put everything on your head?\u201d he said. Konneh, who spoke at the end of a two-day FIFA-sponsored administration and marketing workshop for women\u2019s lower league clubs, recognized that clubs at the higher level have challenges. However, he encouraged officials to change their strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will have to learn to trust others with responsibilities. You have to give people a chance. Tell someone that he or she is going to represent the club at LFA. Even if there is nothing to say, he or she can learn something,\u201d he said. \u201cYou will have to first structure your clubs to attract sponsorship, whether big or small. I was speaking to officials of SuperSport when BYC played them [in the CAF Confederation Cup in April 2017] in South Africa about how much their FA gave them. At that time, clubs in Liberia weren\u2019t receiving subvention from the LFA,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n

Adding, \u201cAnd the guys were telling me that they haven\u2019t collected their funds for two years. Our old people say when you see a monkey crossing the road with a bunch of bananas, the one in the stomach is enough. So they had sponsorship and other things that they weren\u2019t in a hurry to collect funds from their FA. I pray and hope that Liberian clubs will one day reach that level, but it must start with administrative structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

LFA\u2019s 3rd vice president, Jodie Reid-Seton, called on participants to market their clubs innovatively to attract potential investors. She also urged participants to share the knowledge they acquired from the training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat comes to your mind when you think about marketing, branding, or administration? Marketing is innovation. What you package to put out that you want people to buy is important,\u201d she said. \u201cI see that sometimes people are too afraid to make mistakes. You have to make mistakes to learn from them. Don\u2019t get me wrong. I am not talking about doing things deliberately,\u201d Jodie said.<\/p>\n

Also addressing the occasion, the technical director of the LFA, Henry Browne, explained the chain of football administration. He pleaded with the clubs to take the workshop seriously as FIFA has given the football house two years to develop a lower league for women.<\/p>\n
