The Secretariat of Kamboi Eagles Football Club Kenema is pleased to inform all Executive Members and supporters that four (4) of its players have been invited by the Technical Team of the Sierra Leone U-20 National Team - Shooting Stars to join their colleagues for training which commences on Monday, 31st August 2026

The Four (4) Players Selected Are:

1. Abubakarr Bangura - Goalkeeper
2. Sheku Samba - Defender
3. Mohamed Lamin Musa - Midfielder
4. Abubakarr Sidibay - Attacker

This national call-up of four players at a go is happening for the first time in the recent history of the club. This achievement is a testament to the collective efforts of the Technical Team, Management, and supporters under the leadership of Alhaji Idriss Kamara as the club Executive Chairman.

The Management hereby wishes the players the very best during the trials. We have no doubt they will make the final selected plyers who will be representing Sierra Leone.

Signed:

With due respect, the attempt to portray Kamboi Eagles as a club interested only in naming ceremonies, marriages and board appointments is a misleading and unfair narrative that ignores the realities and progress of the club.

Football development is not measured only by pre-season fixtures or headline signings. It is also about financial stability, player welfare, responsible administration, commitment and building a sustainable institution.

Under Executive Chairman Alhaji Idris Kamara, Kamboi Eagles completed the 2025/26 season in 7th position, remained competitive, honoured its fixtures and, importantly, continued to meet its responsibilities to the players. These are not achievements to be dismissed simply because the club has not yet lifted the Premier League trophy.

Chairman Idris Kamara deserves credit for stepping forward at a time when football administration requires more than words. His commitment, personal sacrifice and determination to keep the Eagles moving deserve recognition.

Yes, Kamboi Eagles must improve. Yes, the club must continue strengthening the squad, preparing adequately and pursuing trophies. Nobody should be afraid to demand greater ambition.

But demanding progress is different from deliberately discrediting progress already made.

To suggest that the Eagles are preparing for relegation simply because people are celebrating family, institutional and administrative milestones is an unnecessary attempt to create negativity around a club that is working to build itself.

We welcome constructive criticism, but we reject narratives designed to undermine genuine commitment.

The Premier League trophy remains the ultimate ambition. The journey will require investment, planning, patience, recruitment and collective commitment. And under Chairman Idris Kamara, the determination to pursue that vision remains clear.

🦅 Give the Chairman his flowers. Give the players their respect. Give the club room to build.

Kamboi Eagles is not perfect, but it is moving progressively.

The Eagles are not retreating. We are building. We are committed. And we are coming for more.💙🔥

The Management, Technical Team, Players, Supporters and the entire Kamboi Eagles Football Club family proudly recognize and celebrate Haja Fatmata Kargbo Kamara, the wife of our Executive Chairman, Alhaji Idriss Kamara, and the First Lady of Kamboi Eagles FC.

Behind every strong leadership journey is often someone who provides encouragement, perspective and unyielding support. For Kamboi Eagles, Madam Haja Fatmata has been that dependable presence.

Throughout the 2025/26 Leone Rock Premier League season, she has stood firmly behind her husband, constantly encouraging him to remain committed to the club, support the players and continue investing in the development of Kamboi Eagles.

Her contribution goes beyond being the Chairman’s wife. She has shown genuine passion for the club, its players, supporters and the people of Kenema. Her encouragement and moral support have helped strengthen the Chairman’s resolve to build a more stable and competitive Kamboi Eagles.

As the club records its best league campaign in years and targets a top-ten finish for the first time in seven years, the contribution of those who have supported this journey from behind the scenes deserves recognition.

Haja Fatmata Kargbo Kamara is not only a devoted wife and committed supporter of Kamboi Eagles; she is also a Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry and Deputy National Women’s Leader of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). Across her various responsibilities, she continues to demonstrate commitment to service, leadership and community development.

Her generosity, encouragement, humility and concern for the welfare of players and officials have earned her a special place within the Kamboi Eagles family.

Today, we say thank you to a woman who continues to encourage her husband, strengthen his vision and champion the cause of Kamboi Eagles.

Behind the Chairman’s commitment stands a woman who continues to encourage the vision.

Haja Fatmata Kargbo Kamara — your support matters, your contribution is valued, and your role in the Eagles’ journey will not be forgotten.

At the helm of Kamboi Eagles FC, Executive Chairman Alhaji Idris Kamara has demonstrated that leadership is not measured by speeches, but by results, responsibility and action.

Under his leadership, Kamboi Eagles completed the 2025/26 Leone Rock Premier League season in 7th position, while making significant strides in the way the club is managed and supported.

One of the most noticeable changes has been the attention given to players’ welfare. Salaries have been paid without the prolonged delays that have often affected football clubs, while the overall welfare of players has received greater attention.

The club has also begun moving away from relying heavily on loan deals to securing permanent signings, an important step toward building a more stable and competitive squad.

Beyond the pitch, Chairman Idris Kamara has placed emphasis on trust, accountability and responsible leadership. His commitment extends beyond the football club, with a strong desire to give back to Kenema, the community the Eagles proudly represent.

Perhaps one of the clearest indicators of his leadership is the club’s consistency. During the 2025/26 campaign, Kamboi Eagles remained active and competitive, honouring their away fixtures without missing a match due to financial constraints, while the team avoided player strikes resulting from unpaid salaries.

This is not to suggest that every challenge has disappeared, but it reflects a leadership approach built around stability, commitment and ambition.

Chairman Idris Kamara has a vision of seeing Kamboi Eagles lift the Premier League trophy for the first time, and the foundation is being laid with purpose.

🦅 Leadership with action. Leadership with vision. Leadership with accountability.

Today, let us give Alhaji Idris Kamara his flowers for the work being done to move Kamboi Eagles forward.

The journey continues. The vision is bigger. The Eagles are rising. 🦅💙
