Bea Mountain Wonderkid Weah Receives Debut Senior National Team Call-up

Monrovia, Liberia: Promising young football talent Ralph Weah of Liberian First Division Club Bea Mountain has been named in a 24-man squad for the Lone Star's upcoming double-header friendlies with Sierra Leone.

The call-up by new Head Coach Mohammed Erradi marks the first time youngster Weah is selected to represent the Senior national team.

Ralph Weah's selection follows his impressive spell in the last two seasons in the Liberia Football Association First Division League.

The 17-year-old had a stellar campaign with FC Bea Mountain in the just-ended 2025/2026 season, registering 25 goal contributions in 24 appearances.

Head Coach Mohammed Erradi says the sensational winger forms part of his development process of the Liberia Men's Senior National Team.

"Ralph Weah is currently the best winger in the national league, and he deserves this call-up," said Al Erradi.

"There is no better time than now. It's not about being young; when you have the talent, you should be called up", Coach Erradi defended the call-up.

Liberia will face neighboring Sierra Leone in a friendly encounter on June 6 and 9, 2026 respectively.

The first leg will be played in Freetown, Sierra Leone, while the second leg will be held in Monrovia, Liberia.

The friendlies form part of Liberia's preparation ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
