Raji is one of the problems leading to the collapse of football in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese current football administrators are not managing our football programs well\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that the current football leaders or administrators are now managing the country football in their own interest and they are not thinking of how the various leagues will progress to the standard level but rather thinking of the money they will incur from it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me I might say that, our football leaders in this country are not in the position of improving our football standard but rather business men and women who are managing our football as their own business and interested in sharing profit or dividends at the end of the football season in the country\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n<p>The tough talking football stakeholder also believes that low patronage is one of the many problems that is decreasing the image of football in Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>The Senior Female professionals president also disclosed that due to the poor management of the league many clubs going into the CAF competitions performance poorly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d The poor performance of our champion clubs in major CAF competitions now also plays a role in the falling standard of our soccer\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
