The date of the PLFA Ordinary Congress is out. It will be held on January 27, 2024. This is a gigantic step forward. Something that has been eluding the association for almost two years now. The last time the association had an Ordinary Congress was in 2022. […]

It Looks Like the Congress Might NOT Happen
We do have problems as an LFA, but the problems are soluble. We just need a positive attitude towards solving the problems. We are of the view that we need to apply correct solutions for the problems we have. That is why we want to give the Executive Committee (and, in particular, the Chairperson) to take the association into confidence about the issues. It is important that they see, acknowledge and own the problems that we see, and come up with ways to resolve them. For them to resign, or for us to dismiss them is not necessarily a solution, especially if we do not know the Leadership’s take on the issues. Therefore we urge all Members to rather take a posture of seeking to first understand the problems holistically, get the perspective of the Leadership, and then engineer solutions according to the specification and size of the problems identified.

PLFA Gearing Itself for a Congress, At Long Last
Strides FC encourages unity in the football fraternity, and advises that the only way of having sustained unity is if the right things are done. We are longing for a sustainable developmental programme and promotional transcendance. But let us start with fixing governance, which starts with accountability, for which the Congress is the right platform. Let’s prepare for the Congress, let us engage, let us hold each other accountable, let us hold the Executive Committee accountable, let us fix, and let us develop, promote and grow […]
