BUCHANAN - ‎The Grand Bassa football community has once again been left disappointed after two of its three representatives in the 2025/26 LFA National Third Division League Playoffs were eliminated in the opening round of the competition.
‎
‎Defending Grand Bassa champions Loopers FC saw their playoff journey come to an end after suffering a 3-1 penalty shootout defeat to Thunder FC at the Dorris Williams Sports Stadium on Wednesday. The second leg ended 1-1, leaving the aggregate score tied at 3-3 following a 2-2 draw in the first leg. Thunder FC held their nerve in the shootout to secure qualification to the next round.
‎
‎On the other hand, Young United FC also bowed out of the competition after falling 2-1 on aggregate to FC Quincy. The youthful Grand Bassa side lost the first leg 1-0 in Buchanan before battling to a 1-1 draw in the return leg at the Nancy B. Doe Sports Stadium in Kakata, Margibi County.
‎
‎With Grand Bassa hosting the National Third Division League Playoffs for the first time since 2019, the early exits have brought disappointment to football fans across the county. The results also bring back memories of previous campaigns in which local clubs Giba FC, Future Star and Wee Defender FC failed to capitalize on home advantage, leaving supporters hoping for a breakthrough that is yet to come.
‎
‎Grand Bassa's hopes now rest solely on Des Moines United FC, the county's runners-up, who remain the only club from the county still in the competition. The team now carries the expectations of the county as it seeks to keep Grand Bassa's dream of securing promotion to the LFA Second Division League alive.
