LESOTHO FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION PRESS RELEASE

Date; Wednesday 15^th April 2020

The Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) would like to inform the football fraternity that FIFA on Monday 13^th April 2020 circulated a spreadsheet to all its 211 Member Associations (MAs) to fill in the financial implications brought by the Corona Virus (COVID- 19) outbreak and how much this period of inactivity will impact on each of MA. LeFA was able to meet the deadline which was a close of business on Tuesday 14^th April 2020 and has fully complied with the request from our Mother-body. We are hopeful that we will get some assistance of which we will advise in due course. Furthermore, LeFA has submitted a request for relief assistance for our elite clubs to Government through the Ministry of Gender and Sport, Youth and Recreation.

The Association wishes all members of the football fraternity well during this difficult time and advises all members of the fraternity to support the Government of Lesotho in curbing this pandemic by observing the directives issued by Government and observe the lockdown.
