FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT BY MR. CASSELL A. KUOH
On the eve of the Liberia Football Association elections, I consider it both necessary and appropriate to address the football community and the Liberian public regarding recent developments affecting my candidacy.
I have taken note of the decision to disqualify my application for the presidency of the LFA. While I respectfully disagree with this decision, I wish to state, in clear and unequivocal terms, that I remain committed to pursuing all lawful and available remedial processes to ensure that my fundamental rights are protected and not subjected to arbitrary limitation or confined to the timelines of an electoral cycle.
The principles at stake extend beyond any single election or interpretation by organs of those who fear me. They go to the very core of fairness, legality, and the integrity of our football governance system.
That said, I DO NOT view this moment as a setback.
As someone whose life journey has been defined by perseverance, resilience, and an unwavering belief in purpose, I regard this as yet another test of my resolve and commitment to meaningful change in Liberian football. I have faced challenges before and overcome them. This moment is no different. If anything, I stand today more focused, more determined, and even more inspired, buoyed by the overwhelming support and encouragement I continue to receive from across the football community and beyond.
I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to my supporters, whose faith has remained steadfast; my family, whose strength continues to anchor me; my team, whose dedication has been unwavering; and the many stakeholders and members of the public who believe in this vision for a better future for Liberian football.
Your support is not taken for granted.
On this Unification Day, I am particularly reminded of the values that bind us together as a people. Sports, football in particular, has always served as a powerful force for unity, bringing together individuals, communities, and nations across lines that would otherwise divide us.
I therefore call on all stakeholders in Liberian football to remain calm, to remain united, and to continue to engage with one another in a spirit of respect and shared purpose. Unity is not merely symbolic; it is the foundation upon which the future of our game must be built.
My commitment to the development, reform, and elevation of Liberian football remains absolute. This vision does not begin or end with an election. It is a continuing responsibility.
I remain hopeful. I remain resolute. And I remain committed to the cause.
Signed:
Cassell A. Kuoh
CEO/President
FC Fassell
