Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) President Babadi Kamara participated in the oversight of the Guinean Football Federation's (FEGUIFOOT) Extraordinary Elective General Assembly in Conakry, Guinea, on October 27, 2026. As First Vice President of the West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone A, Kamara represented the sub-regional football body at the electoral congress. The assembly concluded with the election of Mamady Doumbouya as President of FEGUIFOOT for a four-year term.

Kamara's participation highlights Sierra Leone's involvement in regional football administration and WAFU Zone A's role in supporting governance processes among its member associations. The Extraordinary Elective General Assembly brought together football stakeholders to oversee the selection of new leadership for Guinea's football governing body. Kamara joined other football officials in monitoring the electoral process, reflecting his responsibilities within WAFU Zone A.

The SLFA described the congress as successful, noting that the election marked an important leadership transition for the Guinean Football Federation. Kamara's involvement demonstrates the SLFA's continued engagement with regional football institutions. His presence at the FEGUIFOOT congress also highlights Sierra Leone's representation in regional football decision-making.

Through leadership positions within WAFU Zone A and participation in CAF-related assignments, Sierra Leonean football officials contribute to administrative activities beyond the country's borders. Such engagements provide opportunities for cooperation among national football associations and the exchange of experience on governance and institutional development.

The SLFA's involvement in regional activities reflects its interest in strengthening relationships with neighbouring football federations. Following the conclusion of the congress, the SLFA congratulated FEGUIFOOT on the successful conduct of its Extraordinary Elective General Assembly and extended its best wishes to the newly elected leadership.

The SLFA expressed hope that the new administration would contribute to the continued development of football in Guinea. Kamara's participation in the electoral process underscores the importance of cooperation among West African football governing bodies in promoting institutional stability and effective administration.

The engagement adds to Kamara's record of regional football governance assignments since assuming leadership responsibilities within WAFU Zone A.
