Isha Johansen is to bid for re-election as Sierra Leone’s FA president despite saying she suffered ‘intimidation’ and ‘discrimination’ during her first term.
Johansen, who is Africa’s only female FA president, took charge in 2013 and her reign has been blighted by controversy, infighting and the Ebola crisis.
Ms Johansen told BBC Sport:
I have decided to run for a second term in office, after careful deliberation.
I would like to finish what I started. There is unfinished business.
Considering Ebola took away two years and the remaining two years were marred with controversy, infighting, boycotts and all kinds of weird and wonderful antics by those who oppose my leadership, we have still managed to achieve quite a great deal.”
Ms Johansen lists an increase in coaches, both male and female, better playing surfaces and improved national teams among her feats.
