Monrovia, Liberia – A new era for Liberian football was ushered in when Coach Famatta Dean led Montserrado to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Grand Bassa in an exhibition game at the SKD Sports Complex, making history as the first female coach to win with a County team.
In a game that drew viewers eager to witness something remarkable, Dean accomplished exactly that. Her tactical discipline, calm leadership on the touchline, and ability to inspire her squad were all clear throughout the game as Montserrado maintained her composure and secured the historic triumph.
This accomplishment represents a win for women in football throughout Liberia, not just for Montserrado. All eyes are now on Coach Dean as the National County Sports Meet approaches.
Montserrado may have a strong combination of confidence, momentum, and history going into the tournament if this performance is any indication. Coach Famatta Dean is only getting started, so be careful.
