Coach Jasper Kun of Down Town FC has shown faith in his squad’s potential to earn automatic promotion to the Liberia Football Association's First Division League as they prepare for an important game against Gardnerville FC later this week.
The squad, competing in the second tier for the initial time following their promotion from the third division during the previous season, finds itself well-placed to secure one of the top-three spots at the end of the campaign. Downtown FC stands in third place with 51 points, just four games away from concluding the season.
Following their 3-1 victory against Cece United on March 27, 2025, Kun discussed the team’s drive. “The entire squad is highly motivated competing in this second division league since our club has never experienced being at this level,” he stated. “It feels amazing to be part of securing a spot among the elite teams.” In the opening half, goals were netted by Jesse Cooper, Gabriel Omale, and Joseph K. Toe for Down Town FC, though Cece United did manage to score toward the end of the same segment.
Prior to this victory, Down Town FC had experienced two successive ties with Pags FC and Samira FC; however, they managed to hold onto their spot in the rankings. Kun expressed gratitude towards his squad for their efforts yet encouraged them to keep their eyes on the prize of earning promotion to the First Division.
The upcoming match with Gardnerville FC is expected to be challenging, yet I believe that capitalizing on our chances to score and keeping control of the ball will lead us to victory," Kun stated. He stressed the significance of future fixtures, noting, "To ensure a spot among the top three, we must clinch wins in at least two or three additional games. Our objective remains securing promotion to the First Division, making this encounter with Gardnerville FC particularly vital.
He went on, "I appreciate your victory over Cece United, but let’s not forget that we still have four matches left in the league. My aim is for you to strive to secure wins in at least two of these games and earn draws in the remaining two, as I am confident this will ensure Down Town FC's promotion to the First Division."
