History
The League inauguration was initiated in 2015 through a series of focused group meetings with the Youth and Sport Councils and other key stakeholders. The newly established entities comprise of three persons appointed by the SLFA, two persons by the Youth and sports Council and one appointed by the President of the SLFA. These appointments via nominations from the Youth and Sport Councils and the SLFA, enabled the intervention to be concluded in October 2015.
The League members were advised to urgently initiate ad hock and or sub-committees, develop operating procedures with its members and executive committee, and submit the draft for vetting and subsequent approved by the SLFA as per the constitution.
The governance structure of the Leagues fosters an enabling environment for growth and development. In this regard, performance of the entity is envisioned as an integral part and parcel of football administration. It is proposed that the managerial capacity of the recent inaugurated Leagues will be strengthened, through a series of football retreats with clear outcomes, to include formulation of a regulatory framework, core competencies, vision and mission.
The SLFA earnestly hopes for the ushering of a new day in football, through this empowerment process; which will invariably herald a transformation from the bottom up.
