But this week, thanks to the Leone Stars, Sierra Leone’s National Football Team, on the streets of Freetown, and across the world, Sierra Leoneans got a rare chance to cheer and celebrate together. The last time I watched Sierra Leone play football on DSTV, I was 12 years old. Today, at 37, Kei is the oldest person on Team Sierra Leone at this year’s competition. In the hours and days since the match, I’ve retweeted every tweet and devoured every article praising Team Sierra Leone. And like I’ve said elsewhere, I don’t need a football game to make me feel national pride.
