Lunsar, SIERRA LEONE – In a move set to electrify Sierra Leone football, renowned development strategist Ibrahim “Petisco” Kamara has been unveiled as the new Chief Executive Officer of Marampa Stars FC – returning to his roots with a mission to propel the Lunsar-based club to premier league glory.
The AADSL director’s appointment came through a unanimous endorsement from Marampa Chiefdom stakeholders, led by Paramount Chief Koblo Quee II, filling the vacancy left by Abdul Osman Turay’s move to NWFA leadership.
“This isn’t just an appointment – it’s a homecoming,” declared an emotional Petisco during his Makeni unveiling. “From wearing Bai Bureh Warriors’ colors to now steering Marampa Stars, I’m here to transform dreams into reality for our next generation of football stars.”
The new CEO hit the ground running with bold strategies:
– Squad Revolution: Signed top talents including ex-Ocean Boys defender Musa “Mamikayma” Mansaray
– Pre-Season Dominance: Already clinched the Thomas Daddy Brima Trophy
– Premier League Push: Targeting 2025/26 Leone Rock qualification through division playoffs
“We’re not just participating – we’re coming to dominate,” Petisco vowed, announcing plans for intensive friendlies and enhanced training regimens.
When quizzed about balancing NGO work with football administration, the multitasking maestro was unfazed:
“At AADSL, we’ve built a dream team. At Marampa Stars, we’re assembling warriors. Both will thrive through strategic delegation and shared vision.”
With royal endorsement from PC Koblo Queen II and swelling community support, Petisco’s regime launches with unprecedented momentum: “This marks Marampa’s football renaissance” – Club Supporter “Petisco understands both grassroots and governance” – NWFA insider
As preseason preparations intensify, all eyes are on Petisco’s blueprint to:
– Establish modern football infrastructure in Lunsar
– Forge partnerships with international clubs
– Launch youth academies across Port Loko District. Final Whistle: “To Marampa Chiefdom – your trust won’t be wasted. We’re writing history together!” – CEO Petisco BT/5/4/2025
