Mercury International (SL) Ltd. on Thursday 2nd June 2011 at their Siaka Stevens Street head office gave the Sports Writers Association of Sierra Leone (SWASAL) the sum of Le 5 million to enable the association cover fully the 2012 Nations Cup return-leg qualifying match between Leone Stars and Mena Stars of Niger on Saturday 4th June 2011, at the National Stadium at 4:30pm.

The money is to facilitate live radio match commentary across the entire country, purchase of scratch cards for the commentary, stipends for commentators, transportation and refreshment for match analysts and other administrative expenses.
The association has already sent out letters to radio station managers informing them accordingly about the details of how to bring the said match to the doorsteps of every Sierra Leonean, and the stipend they will receive for their services.
It can be recalled that Mercury International (SL) Ltd., started to partner with SWASAL since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and since then, the company continues to fully sponsor the association to cover all the four matches (both home and away) our darling Leone Stars have played in the ongoing 2012 Nations Cup qualifier.
SWASAL wishes to thank the Board of Directors, Management and entire Staff of Mercury International (SL) Ltd., and those radio stations and newspapers that continue to support the association in its drive to promote sports in Sierra Leone.
