Sierra Leone can now host international football after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the country free from Ebola on Saturday.
The country last hosted an international match on home soil on July 19, 2014 when the Leone Stars defeated Seychelles in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Freetown.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) imposed the ban 15 months ago just after the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) suspended all football activities in the country to stop the spread of the virus.
Sierra Leone will now host their first official home fixture post-Ebola against 2017 Africa Cup of Nations hosts Gabon in March.
