Football is a passion that unites the people, and at Bettomax, we see it as our responsibility to invest in the game\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice president of the LFA, <strong>Prof. Sekou Konneh<\/strong>, described the partnership as \u201ca blessing\u201d and a blueprint for future corporate involvement: \u201cThis is a very good opportunity that will be created as part of our partnership. Corporate support, when structured effectively, can transform the landscape of Liberian football.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership solidifies Bettomax Liberia\u2019s role as a<strong> key driver<\/strong> in the nation\u2019s football ecosystem. Already sponsors of Watanga FC (Men\u2019s First Division) and Shaita Angels FC (Women\u2019s Upper League), Bettomax has also consistently demonstrated a commitment to social responsibility through <strong>monthly $1,000 donations<\/strong> to hospitals and orphanages across Liberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inclusive football at Bettomax Champions Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/08\/LIBERIA-FOOTBALL-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/08\/LIBERIA-FOOTBALL-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/08\/LIBERIA-FOOTBALL-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/08\/LIBERIA-FOOTBALL.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sealing the deal: Liberia Football Association\u2019s Prof. Sekou Konneh and Bettomax\u2019s Livia Popescu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bettomax Liberia\u2019s Gaming Commercial Manager, <strong>Livia Popescu<\/strong>, outlined the company\u2019s vision for inclusive football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBettomax operates on a structured blueprint, not on day-to-day opinions, and expansion to include women\u2019s clubs is already part of the <strong>tournament\u2019s long-term plan<\/strong>.
