Determine Girls have been confirmed champions of the 2024/2025 LFA Upper Women’s League following a 7-1 thrashing of Kneeling Warriors at the SKD on Sunday, April 6, 2025.
Guinean International Bountu Sylla scored four goals, followed by a goal each from Jessica Quachie, Ruggy Joof, and Mbassey Daboe, ensuring their 5th title in succession.
With this news, Coach Robert Larteh’s girls are well on course for a double, but they will have to outshine World Girls in the Orange Cup final on April 20, 2025, to achieve the feat.
By tradition, Determine Girls will represent Liberia in the next edition of the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) zone-A Women’s edition, which will be their 5th participation.
Out of the four participations, Determine Girls only managed to qualify once from the preliminary stage. According to statistics, they won the Liberian leagues in the following years: 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25. The Liberian-Guinean international Bountou Sylla moved to second place in the scoring chart with 24 goals from 20 league matches and six goals behind 1st place Shaita Angel’s Miatta Morris, who is on 30 goals. In the male division of the LFA, Mark Yallah scored a brace at the same venue to inspire FC Fassell to a 4-0 win over Shaita FC to move within a point of clinching the 2024/2025 title.
With the win, the Soccer Missionaries are on 50 points and 9 points clear of 2nd place Heaven Eleven, who are on 41 points with three matches to spare.
In other fixtures, Mighty Barrolle were beaten 2-3 by Global Pharma as LPRC Oilers went down 0-1 to Heaven Eleven while Paynesville FC managed a 3-2 win over Freeport FC.
On the other hand, LISCR and Invincible Eleven settled to a 1-1 draw, Watanga FC and Blackman Warrior also drew 3-3, and Discoveries SA and Bea Mountain settled to a 2-2 draw.
