Salone Flying Stars Amputee Football Club

The Salone Flying Star Amputee Football Club (FSA) has existed for almost 20 years, since 2001 just after the civil war ended. The club was founded at a rehabilitation center for amputee victims from the civil war. Most of the players at FSA have been involved since the beginning. In 2010, the team seceded from the former management (existing of primarily non-disabled people) because the players wanted a football team managed by disabled and not for disabled. Since then, FSA has independently run their own organization, arranged football training sessions each week and mobilized disabled football players in a healthy society. The primary activities of FSA are football training sessions, skills training, famining, workshops and mobilization of disabled persons in Sierra Leone.
