Among the recipients were the Liberia Athletics Federation (LAF), Liberia Tennis Federation (LTF), Liberia Handball Federation (LHF), Liberia Taekwondo Federation (LTF), and the Liberia Basketball Association (LBA).

Speaking on behalf of the recipient federations, Liberia Taekwondo Federation President Master Junior Pewee Russian expressed gratitude to the LNOC leadership and urged member associations to utilize the equipment effectively.

“I want to first say a big thank you to the LNOC family for such an important donation,” Master Russian said. “To my fellow federation and association leaders, please use these uniforms for their intended purpose and for the common growth of our respective sports.”

LNOC President Cllr. Sylvester Rennie emphasized that the equipment is meant to foster unity and ensure proper representation during local and international assignments.

Cllr. Rennie noted that wearing official national kit helps clearly identify athletes and officials when traveling abroad to compete.

“The LNOC’s main objective in providing these uniforms to ensure you are well-identified both inside and outside of Liberia, especially during local and international competitions,” Cllr. Rennie stated. “I hope each of you will ensure these items are used appropriately.”
