Alie Basma

Born in London, England on January 24 1985 Alie Basma is a Sierra Leonean footballer who last played for SVDJK Taufkirchen in Munich, Germany and is currently a free agent on trial with several mls clubs.

After his move to the United States from Sierra Leone in early 1997 due to the civil war, Basma excelled in football in the Maryland area. He attended Parkland Middle School before transferring to Thomas Johnson High School in Frederick, Maryland where he was an all conference and all state player, before winning the 4A Regional Championship as a senior. He played for three years at Shepherd University where he was an all conference selection before turning pro. Basma had trial stints in Europe and was called up for training camp for Lebanon and Sierra Leone. He has shown interest more in playing for Sierra Leone rather than his birth father's country Lebanon. Basma also played PDl for the Delaware Dynasty and Northern Virginia Royals before signing for SVDJK Taufkirchen in Germany.
