Blessing Kieh from LEAD Africa’s flagship school in Liberia, LEAD Monrovia Football Academy (LEAD MFA) has started 2020 on a high note. Kieh and five other girls from the academy were chosen to join the Liberian U-17 National Women’s Team in their bid to qualify for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup to be staged in India this year.
Despite this being only her first international appearance, Kieh is already the qualifiers joint leading goalscorer after she netted a hat-trick on debut and netted another goal in the return match to help Liberia see off Niger 9-0 on aggregate.
