LFA Increases Cash Prizes for First, Second Division Leagues

The Liberia Football Association (LFA) has increased the prize money for the Orange First and Second division leagues for the 2021/22 league season.

Champions of the Orange 1st division league will receive US$20,000 as a cash prize plus medals.

During the previous season, champions of the First Division were rewarded L$1.6 million as cash prize, while runners-up received L$600,000.

In the Second Division, the champions will now receive US$10,000, previously L$75,000, plus gold plated medals, while cash prize (L$450,000) and medals for the runners-up have been omitted by the football association as well.

Meanwhile, there were no changes in the cash prizes for winners and runners-up in the women’s division. The L$600,000 cash prize for winners and L$350,000 for runners-up were maintained for the 2021 league season.
