George Manneh Oppong Weah (/ˈwiːə/; born 1 October 1966) is a Liberian politician and former professional footballer who is currently serving as the 25th President of Liberia, in office since 2018. Prior to his election to the presidency, Weah served as Senator from Montserrado County. During his football career, he played as a striker. His prolific 18-year professional playing career ended in 2003. He is the first African former professional footballer to become head of state.


After beginning his career in his home country of Liberia, Weah spent 14 years playing for clubs in France, Italy, and England. Arsène Wenger first brought him to Europe, signing him for Monaco in 1988. Weah moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 1992 where he won Ligue 1 in 1994 and became the top scorer of the 1994–95 UEFA Champions League. He signed for A.C. Milan in 1995 where he spent four successful seasons, winning Serie Atwice. He moved to the Premier League towards the end of his career and had spells at Chelsea and Manchester City, winning the FA Cup at the former, before returning to France to play for Marseille in 2001. He ended his career with Al-Jazira in 2003. FourFourTwo named Weah one of the best players never to win the UEFA Champions League.

At international level, Weah represented Liberia at the African Cup of Nations on two occasions, winning 75 caps and scoring 18 goals for his country. He played an international friendly in 2018 where his number 14 jersey was retired. Regarded as one of the best players never to have played at the World Cup, Scott Murray in The Guardian writes Weah was "hamstrung by hailing from a global minnow".

Widely regarded as one of the greatest African players of all time, in 1995, he was named FIFA World Player of the Year and won the Ballon d'Or, becoming the first and to date only African player to win these awards. In 1989, 1994 and 1995, he was also named the African Footballer of the Year, and in 1996, he was named African Player of the Century. Known for his acceleration, speed, and dribbling ability, in addition to his goalscoring and finishing, Weah was described by FIFA as "the precursor of the multi-functional strikers of today".[12] In 2004, he was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100list of the world's greatest living players.

Weah became involved in politics in Liberia following his retirement from football. He formed the Congress for Democratic Change and ran unsuccessfully for President in the 2005 election, losing to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in the second round of voting. In the 2011 election, he ran unsuccessfully for Vice President alongside Winston Tubman. Weah was subsequently elected to the Liberian Senate for Montserrado County in the 2014 elections. Weah was elected President of Liberia in the 2017 election, defeating the incumbent Vice President Joseph Boakai,and sworn in on 22 January 2018


Since making his debut for the Liberia national team against Sierra Leone in 1986, Weah played 75 games over 20 years, scoring 18 goals. As one of the smaller nations in world football and perennial underdogs, Weah did much to support the national squad: aside from being the team's star player, he also later coached the squad and even funded his national side to a large extent. Despite his efforts, he was unsuccessful in helping Liberia qualify for a single FIFA World Cup, falling just a point short in qualifying for the 2002 tournament. However, he did help Liberia to qualify for the African Cup of Nations on two occasions: Weah represented his country in the 1996 and 2002 editions of the tournament, although Liberia failed to make it out of their group both times, suffering first-round eliminations.

Weah has been named by several media outlets as one of the best players to never play at the World Cup.

One of the greatest African players of all time, George Weah was, like his namesake George Best before him, hamstrung in World Cup terms by hailing from a global minnow. — Scott Murray writing for The Guardian on Weah's "stand alone effort" to get his nation to a World Cup.

Weah returned to the national team for a specially arranged friendly against Nigeria on 11 September 2018, his final international appearance, playing at the age of 51 while in office as the country's president. His number 14 shirt, worn by Weah at his playing peak, was retired after the friendly, with Weah receiving a standing ovation when he was substituted

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024 Over time, the practice of patterning evolved to encompass a hierarchical approach, serving as a fundamental template for the creation of garments. Initially, patterning was primarily geared towards the production of utilitarian attire for ordinary households, while those with considerable means leveraged it to imbue their personal style with opulence. With the continuous advancements in technology and the availability of resources, the commercial aspects of patterning have substantially streamlined, relegating its artisanal aspects to relative obscurity. In this transformation, the discerning eye of fashion consumers shifted away from appreciating craftsmanship, gravitating more towards the innovative and artistic direction set by brands. Patterns serve as crucial visual representations, illustrating the precise construction methods for various items. The responsibility of the pattern drafter lies in ensuring that these drawings are not only comprehensible but also faithfully represent the pertinent information, a task demanding a combination of technical expertise and creative acumen. Patterning is a complex process that unfolds on a two-dimensional canvas, comprising a network of lines and curves, meticulously guiding the transformation of these flat templates into intricate three-dimensional garments. This architectural approach to fashion design is pivotal in ensuring that garments conform seamlessly to the wearer’s physique. Patterning, in itself, is a highly skilled art, demanding a mastery of technical expertise.The journey from a rudimentary sketch to the final realization of a garment follows a well-defined pipeline. The initial concept takes shape through a preliminary sketch, eventually evolving into a meticulously drafted pattern. Throughout this intricate journey, there exists a captivating interplay of abstraction. While one can envision the design taking form, the garment remains, as yet, an unrealized vision. The transition from conceptual design to the drafting phase significantly influences how the final garment will manifest. Creative patterning is the position that allows a design to achieve its highest potential. It deftly weaves together the realms of abstraction and tangible design, navigating the fine line between what appears to be present and what is yet to be materialized. In this process, the alphanumeric pattern paper serves as both a void and a blueprint—a blank canvas awaiting the design’s manifestation. Detaching a vital element of a garment and leaving it bare. The garments emerge from this abstract void, seamlessly adorning the body. This progression encapsulates the stages a design undergoes, bypassing the final product stage. It underscores the absence of incompleteness in the initial collection, underscoring the indispensable and symbiotic relationship between the designer and the pattern maker. Romanticizing with the concept of abstraction and what is tangible by hypothesizing, until it is bestowed upon us.
