Jubilee Football Club Experiences Lackluster Performance in the LFA First Division League
BUCHANAN, GRAND BASSA COUNTY: Jubilee Football Club's winless streak this season in the Liberia Football Association (LFA) First Division League has stretched to five games following a massive defeat to FC Fassell.
The Church Boys experienced another setback in their campaign on Monday, December 6, 2025, losing 5-0 against defending champions FC Fassell at the Doris William Sports Pitch in Port City of Buchanan, Grand Bassa County.
Jubilee FC went down 3-0 in the first half against the Soccer Missionaries, before conceding two additional goals in the second half. The defeat extended the team's wait for a win this season.
Jubilee FC's poor run began from their opening league fixture, in which they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Bea Mountain FC. Since then, the club has continued to face consistent defeats.
The team was whipped in their subsequent matches against Watanga FC, LISCR FC, Gardnersville FC, and the latest against FC Fassell. Jubilee FC currently lies at the bottom of the LFA First Division league table with zero points, facing relegation threats.
Sports analysts say the club's disappointing start to the 2025/2026 season may be due to the time taken off to argue its initial relegation to the Third Division League by the Liberia Football Association.
Jubilee FC was relegated to the Third Division by the Football body for reportedly breaching the standing rules of the league. This, the FA said, was a submission of fake business registration documents by the club during the 2024/2025 season.
Jubilee FC challenged the LFA's relegation decision, with an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which it was ordered that it be temporarily reinstated in the league when the transfer window had already closed.
Pundits believe the months of legal debate that still persist between the club and the LFA hampered Jubilee FC's preparation process for the league.
The squad seems to be lacking composure with limited training sessions and missing out on key signings before the start of the season.
Jubilee FC now copes with a lot of third division recruited players amidst the transfer window closure, following its temporary reinstatement.
However, fans are optimistic that the team will return to its winning form as the season progresses.
Jubilees are left with 9 games in the first phase of the league and could be desperate to sharpen their squad during the mid-season break.
