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 (the first as so far the only African to receive that honor), they have failed to transfer the individual success to the team stage. Liberia has never reached the World Cup, although they did come a point short of qualifying in 2002.

Weah is seen as the "patron saint" of the Liberian team; not only has he played and coached the side, he also spent a lot of his own money to help out the team in its quest for glory.
