The Single Leg Amputee Sport Club (SLASC) was founded at the end of the civil war in Sierra Leone. SLASC runs a football-based programme for amputees with regular training sessions and physiotherapy. The programme also offers opportunities for participation in local and international tournaments, education, micro-enterprises and advocacy.

SLASC provides trauma recovery, promotes peace and helps amputees reintegrate into society. There are currently six football teams throughout the country that participate in the national Amputee Football League, and the national team takes part in various international tournaments. The game is played with crutches or prosthetics.
