The young players are set to participate in the BVB Youth International Football Tournament.
The academy’s delegation, led by Coach Jarwee Queyah, departed Liberia on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 and scheduled to play several friendly matches before the tournament begins on September 27, 2025.
Matu David Boimah, the mother of 15-year-old defender Jakemat Anointed Boimah, expressed her happiness for all the players. “I am not only happy for my son as a member of the academy delegation to Bangkok, Thailand, but for all of the academy delegation headed by the Head Coach Queyah, to prove the skills they have gained from the Elite Academy for the past four to five years,” she said.
Madam Boimah explained that the parents are happy because they have observed their children’s positive responses to the academy’s training programs, which they believe will prepare them for local and international challenges.
“When we were informed by the academy head, Fallah Johnson, that the academy was preparing our children to travel to Thailand to participate in an international football tournament but he needed our support with air ticket expenses, we all quickly agreed to pay,” Madam Boimah stated. “Our children’s visit to Thailand will help to better improve their football skills.”
Rudolf Togba, the father of 18-year-old midfielder Samuel Samblota Togba, noted his son has been with the academy for 12 years, since he was five. Mr. Togba praised the academy’s management for their quality training programs.
“I want to be grateful to Fallah Johnson and members of his academy for their job well done,” said Mr. Togba. “The good training program they have continued to provide has helped our children to travel to Thailand for an international football tournament, and we all know very well that such an international football tournament will surely help our children to improve their talents.”
