One of the leading telecommunications providers, Africell Sierra Leone, has launched its own official Fantasy Premier League (FPL) competition, offering subscribers across the country an exciting opportunity to compete for attractive prizes, while showcasing their football management skills.
The official launch took place on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at Africell’s headquarters on Pivot Street, Wilberforce in Freetown. The event marked the beginning of a season-long football-based competition open exclusively to Africell subscribers.
Addressing attendees at the launch, Africell’s Media Relations Team Lead, Abdul Aziz Kamara, introduced the fundamentals of Fantasy Premier League. He described it as a free-to-play, online game tied to the English Premier League, where participants build and manage a 15-player squad using a virtual budget of £100 million.
Players in each fantasy team mirror real-life Premier League stars, with participants earning points based on actual performances; goals, assists, clean sheets and more. Points can also be lost for actions like yellow cards and missed penalties.
Abdul Aziz Kamara added that participants can make one free player transfer per gameweek, with additional changes costing four points each. Managers can also utilize special “chips” such as the Wildcard, Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Free Hit to gain a tactical edge.
Speaking on behalf of Africell’s marketing team, Kamanda Koroma, Marketing Communications Manager, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative. A fantasy football veteran himself, Kamanda Koroma highlighted the game’s inclusive and engaging nature. “This is not just another console game. It’s a real-time competition rooted in football, open to everyone with no barriers to entry,” Kamanda Koroma stated. “It’s free to join and the prizes are real, transparent and rewarding.”
Kamanda Koroma disclosed that the Africell Fantasy Premier League will span the full English Premier League season—38 gameweeks across 10 months and offer prizes at weekly, monthly and end-of-season levels.
Weekly winners will receive a Yamix bundle, including data, SMS top-ups and a one-month free subscription to Startimes, which airs Premier League matches and other entertainment.
Monthly winners will be awarded NLe 3,500 along with a customized jersey of their favorite Premier League team.
At the end of the season, the top five overall managers will receive:
- 1st Place – NLe 100,000
- 2nd Place – NLe 70,000
- 3rd Place – NLe 60,000
- 4th Place – NLe 45,000
- 5th Place – NLe 35,000
Participation is completely free, but requires an Africell SIM card registered in the participant’s name, as well as an Afrimoney account to receive cash prizes.
To maintain excitement throughout the season, Kamanda Koroma noted that Africell will engage participants through multimedia platforms, including visual content, podcasts, WhatsApp groups and regular updates on social media. “This initiative reinforces Africell’s broader commitment to sports development in Sierra Leone from football to volleyball and basketball. We encourage everyone to be a part of this fun, engaging and rewarding experience,” he added.
