Everyone wants their team to get through to the final round of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon... but apparently no-one wants it quite as much as Sierra Leone's president, Julius Maada Bio.

In a match against Benin tonight, the Leone Stars need to get at least a 1-0 victory - or to win by a two goal margin if they concede a goal - in order to go through, while Benin just needs a draw to qualify. It's 25 years since Sierra Leone last made it to the AFCON finals - before many of the current team were even born.

So, while he was visiting a training session, the President decided to really inspire the team, promising each player $10,000 and a parcel of land if they qualify. He spoke to the 成人论坛's Mohamed Fajah Barrie.

"We've done it before and we can do it again... ours is a football loving nation and we have to make our people proud."
