According to a release from the Liberia Football Association, out of the 23 players, six are foreign-based, while 17 are local players.
The foreign-based are central defender Sampson Dweh who plays in Czech Republic for Viktoria Plzeň, but on loan from MFK Vyškov, right back Mark Pabai who plays for Slovenian side PrvaLiga club Koper, midfielder Murphy Oscar Dorley of Slavia Prague in Czech Republic, Nohan Kenneh of Shrewsbury Town on loan from Hibernian Football Club, Mo Sangare Livingston in Scotland and striker Peter Wilson who plys his trade for FK Jerv in Norway.
Liberia will be away to Namibia on June 5, 2024 and São Tomé June 9, 2024. Both matches will be played in South Africa and Morocco respectively, because the two host nations don’t have FIFA approved venues.
Meanwhile Coach Mario Marinica has put Sheikh Sesay, Edward Ledlum, Jah Nyanforh, Jusu Dukuly, Emmanuel Sieh, and Armah Vaikainah on standby.
Liberia sits third from bottom with three points in a group that includes Namibia and Tunisia with six points each, Malawi with three points and Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome without points.
