Football Stakeholders in Liberia have given another four-year mandate to Mustaphai I Raji to steer the affairs of the country’s Football.
Raji was elected on Friday without a challenger at the first elective congress held at the FIFA-sponsored Football Headquarters in Swamkamore.
It is Raji’s 3rd and final term in the top seat of football in Liberia.
Football Stakeholders also renewed faith in three of Raji’s principal deputies by re-electing all three vice presidents.
Sekou Konneh, Adolphus Dolo and Jodie Reid Seton were all re-elected to the LFA EXCOM for another four years.
At the Friday, May 15, 2026, election, the delegates voted five new faces. LPRC Managing Director Amos Tweah won a seat by collecting 38 of the 49 votes. Lofa County Senator Momo Cyrus picked up 35 votes, Downtown FC President Pokah Roberts, 36 votes, Samira FC Boss Elvis Sirleaf received 27 votes, and Christian Weah bagged 26 votes.
Anthony Deinuka, 33 votes, Pawala Janyan, 32 votes, Tickly Monkonney, 35 votes, and Hilary Sackie, 33 votes were all retained, while Ivan Brown and Kelvin Baryo failed to get the required votes to maintain their seats.
The LFA May 15 elective congress was graced by FIFA, CAF, LNOC, Youth and Sports Ministry and several other institutions.
Following his election as President, Musphai Raji thanked the stakeholders for given another mandate, while at the same time calling for unity within the LFA.
Raji told Congress, “I would like to congratulate each and every one of us, and special thanks to the Presidents of FIFA and CAF for their continued support of the development of football in Liberia and for helping to make football truly global.”
The LFA President added, “As we depart from here today, let us not sit on the fence. We have a lot to do, and there are many opportunities at the Liberia Football Association for all of us. Although we are many, we will strive to incorporate as much as we can because the success of our football depends on each and every one of us”.
Raji who is a CAF Executive Committee member, was first elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022.
The major contender to Raji, Cassell Kouh, who was disqualified earlier from the process, was in attendance at the congress alongside his campaign Chairman, Emmett Glasco, who withdrew his candidacy a day before the election. Mr. Kouh told reporters who choose peace and believe in unity, football can become much better.
