A commemorative football match meant to honour the late Thelma Bernard evolved into a dominant showcase of experience, legacy, and competitive firepower on February 14, 2026.
The Weah All Stars delivered a commanding 13–3 victory over the Media All Stars in a match that was both symbolic and emphatic. While the fixture was organized as a tribute, the performance on the pitch carried analytical weight: cohesion, attacking precision, and leadership defined the encounter.
At the center of the spectacle was former Liberian President George Weah, whose influence proved decisive. Contributing to approximately 80 percent of his team’s goals—through scoring and direct involvement—Weah demonstrated that his footballing intelligence and positional awareness remain sharp.
Observers noted that beyond the emotional significance of the event, the match underscored a broader narrative: elite football instincts do not fade easily. Weah’s movement off the ball, timing in the attacking third, and orchestration of play reflected the discipline and technical acumen that once defined his global career.
The tribute match, while friendly in nature, became a reminder of the enduring intersection between sports legacy and national identity in Liberia 🇱🇷. In honoring Thelma Bernard, the event also celebrated continuity—where remembrance meets performance.
Scoreline aside, the evening highlighted how sporting icons continue to shape public moments long after their peak competitive years.
