Sierra Leone Flying Disc Association
The Inaugural Ultimate Tournament 2024
The Inaugural Ultimate Tournament played on Sunday 23rd June 2024 was not only the first-ever Ultimate Frisbee tournament in Sierra Leone, it also saw a remarkable display of skill, sportsmanship, and determination from all participating teams. Opposing teams engaged in spirited yet respectful competition, congratulating each other on good plays and showing support in moments of difficulty. The positive attitudes displayed by all players created a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone involved, and as such the tournament was a resounding success.
It was held at The Sierra Leone Football Academy (SLFA) in Freetown, thanks to which the playing fields were of a very high quality. The event was also graced with perfect weather conditions, and with clear skies, gentle breezes, and a comfortable temperature, players were able to focus solely on their performance without any external disruptions.
The pleasant weather also drew in spectators, adding to the excitement and energy of the matches. Yet, although highly competitive play was present, so was a friendly atmosphere which truly exemplified the Spirit of the Game. Players demonstrated respect, fairness, and camaraderie both on and off the field.
Every team that participated in the tournament showcased unwavering determination and a strong competitive spirit. Players pushed themselves to their limits, displaying exceptional skills, teamwork, and strategic thinking in each match. The intense rivalries and close matches further fueled the players' drive to succeed, resulting in thrilling and action-packed games that kept spectators on the edge of their seats.
The Ultimate Frisbee tournament was a resounding success. The event not only celebrated the sport but also highlighted the values of respect, camaraderie, and perseverance that are integral to Ultimate Frisbee. It was a true testament to the passion and dedication of all involved, making it a memorable and inspiring experience for everyone present. This we hope will be the first of many tournaments in Sierra Leone.
