[Liberia] Leone Stars to play Saudi Arabia in two friendlies in March

 

The Liberia Football Association (LFA) and Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) have agreed to play two international friendlies in Riyadh on 27 March and 30 March. 

 

Liberia will feature a senior team while Saudi Arabia will field an under-23 team as it prepares for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, which will be held from 23 July to 8 August in Tokyo, Japan.

 

The Tokyo Games were originally due to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020 but postponed in March 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

 

It will be their third appearance, having participated at Los Angeles 1984 and Atlanta 1996. 

 

In a letter to LFA secretary general Isaac Montgomery on 14 March, SAFF secretary-general Ibrahim S. Alkassim said Liberian delegation should have a negative Covid-19 test results not older than 48 hours (two days) prior to its arrival and will be quarantined for three days upon arrival in Riyadh.
