The governing body of world football, FIFA , on Friday suspended the Sierra Leone Football Association ( SLFA ) over government interference .
The decision came after the country ’ s anti -corruption commission sacked the SLFA president Isha Johansen and general secretary Christopher Kamara because of an ongoing investigation.

FIFA said in a statement that it had requested “ that both be allowed to access the SLFA premises without further delay to ensure that the operations of the SLFA , including FIFA -funded projects, are not jeopardised. ”

“ The suspension will be lifted once the SLFA and its recognised leadership … have confirmed to FIFA that the SLFA administration , premises , accounts and communication channels are under their control once again , ” the statement said.
