MONROVIA – In a major boost for Liberian sports, kickball has been officially confirmed for inclusion in the All-African Games (AAG) starting this year. “As a result of what we have seen, kickball will be introduced at the All-African level beginning this year,” Mr. Jusu announced to a cheering crowd. Liberia to Lead Continental ExpansionWith Liberia widely recognized as the pioneer of organized kickball, Mr. Jusu challenged the Liberia Kickball Federation (LKF) to spearhead the promotion of the game. He noted that as the sport debuts at the All-African Games, both Liberia and Sierra Leone will serve as the “face of kickball” in Africa, a move expected to accelerate its popularity among member states. A Historic BreakthroughThe inclusion of kickball in the AAG marks a historic achievement for a sport that has long been a staple of Liberian culture.
