“The NCSM is more than just games, it’s an investment in our youth and our future,” said one sports official. “This surplus provides an opportunity to enhance facilities, provide better equipment, and nurture the next generation of Liberian athletes.”
As the excitement from this year’s tournament settles, organizers and fans alike are optimistic about the future. The financial gains not only validate the event’s significance but also set a positive precedent for future editions.
With proper allocation of the surplus, the NCSM could play an even greater role in uplifting Liberian sports, ensuring that the passion and talent on display continue to thrive for years to come.
