The Liberia national football team, nicknamed the Lone Stars, is the national team of Liberia and is controlled by the Liberia Football Association. Although the country produced the 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year, George Weah, they have never reached the World Cup finals. Weah is seen as the "patron saint" of the Liberian team; not only has he played for and coached the side, but he also sponsored the team with his own money.
Liberia has twice qualified for the African Cup of Nations - 1996 and 2002.
