Sport

Soccer is the most played sport in Liberia, similar to the majority of Africa. George Weah is the most well-known player from Liberia both inside and beyond its borders. This Liberian striker has won several soccer awards. He was selected as Liberia's first FIFA World Player of the Year in 1995. In addition, he won the titles of European Player of the Year in 1995, African Player of the Century, and African Player of the Year three times (1989, 1994, and 1995). In 1996 and 2002, the Liberian national football team also advanced to the Africa Cup of Nations. All of Liberia's sporting events are held in the renowned Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex.

Basketball and athletics are two other sports that are well-liked in Liberia. The Olympic Games are the most prestigious international athletic event there. With the exception of 1968, 1976, and 1992, Liberia has participated in the Summer Olympic Games since 1956 but has not yet sent competitors to the Winter Olympic Games.
