Kallon Football Club<\/strong> commonly known as F.C. Kallon, formerly Sierra Fisheries<\/strong>, is a Sierra Leonean<\/a> football<\/a> club based in Freetown<\/a>.

Sierra Fisheries was acquired by Kallon in 2002. Under the designation of Sierra Fisheries<\/em>, the club won 3 national championships.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Kallon\u2019s \u00a0saw the need to invest in football which had been his life and a trade being undertaken by his brothers, Musa Kallon and Kemokai Kallon. He believed that this was the only way through which he could contribute to his country and has always desired his name \u201cMohamed Kallon\u201d to linger on in the minds of people. He started investing in young talents in the country and brought a large amount of them onboard. \u00a0FC Kallon started having a youth setup comprising of the under 14s, 15s, 16s, 19s and the senior team. The youth setup emerged after one of the prominent football figures in Sierra Leone football by the name of \u2018Papa Jack\u2019 who was a foreigner working with The Catholic Relief Service (CRS) passed away in 2012. \u00a0Mohamed Kallon moved to secure a large amount of his players starting from the under 14s to senior team and tried to recruit them into his own setup so these talents would not go to waste as\u00a0there was no one else to cater for them.<\/p>\n

The club is currently being coached by former Leone Stars player Amidu Karim.<\/p>\n
