Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Executive Officer of FC Kallon Liberia, Cassell Anthony Kouh, has promised Watanga FC a US$5,000 reward for each win in the upcoming Confederation of African Football Champions League matches.<\/p>\n

According to Kouh, who is a former Vice President for Operations of the LFA, this gesture is his way of uplifting the club during their 2024\/2025 CAF Champions League journey. Mr. Kouh made the promise on Saturday, May 11, during a ceremony organized by the club to honor its players for winning the 2023\/24 LFA national league.<\/p>\n

According to the FC Kallon-Liberia Chief Executive Officer, motivation plays a major role in the success of every club.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotivation plays a major role, so I will begin the process by giving $5,000 USD for each win during the upcoming CAF Champions League,\u201d he said in a brief remark.<\/p>\n

Also at the event, he pledged to present $5,000 USD to the club in the coming days for their success in the just-ended National league.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite my promise of $5,000 for each win in the inter-club competition, I am pledging an additional $5,000 that you guys can collect in the coming days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Liberian champions booked their spot in the preliminary round of this year\u2019s CAF Champions League after winning the 2023\/2024 national league for the second time in three seasons. The club will be making their third appearance in CAF competitions after the draw held in June of this year.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the Soldier Boys represented Liberia in the CAF Champions League but failed to go beyond the first round against Nigerian champions River United FC. They were thrashed 3-0 in the first leg away from home but gave a good account of themselves in the second leg at home, beating the Nigerian side 1-0. At the end of the tie, two players of the Liberian side, Albert Korvah and Mark Gibson, were transferred to River United as a result of their excellent display during both legs.<\/p>\n

However, in 2023, Watanga FC became the fourth Liberian club to be eliminated with high goal aggregate losses in CAF. This happened after the club suffered a 7-2 aggregate loss in the CAF Confederation Cup against Stade Malian de Bamako of Mali. The Liberian club was thrashed 3-1 in the first leg played at the empty-seated Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex (SKD), while they were defeated 4-1 in the return leg just a few days later.<\/p>\n
