Liberia president and 1995 Ballon d’Or winner George Weah has congratulated his son on winning the French Ligue 1 title with Lille.
On the weekend, USA international Timothy Weah, who is the son of Liberia legend and the nation’s incumbent president George Weah, helped Lille pip his former club Paris Saint-Germain to the league title on the final day of the season.
Following the 21-year-old’s remarkable triumph in the French top flight, President Weah was quick to congratulate his son in official communication from the executive mansion.
“On behalf of the entire Weah and Duncan families, Clar and I extend our proud and heartfelt congratulations to our beloved son, Timothy Tarpeh Weah, for once again winning the French Ligue 1 title as champions for the 2021/22 season,” he wrote in a statement on Monday.
“It is with immense pleasure that we take this time to congratulate Timothy and his teammates at the French soccer club, Lille, on their remarkable victory over Angers which secured them the Championship.
“As a winner of the Ligue 1 title myself, I know it takes immense determination, hard work, commitment and steadfastness week after week to emerge as a champion. Having secured the Championship at PSG in France, Celtic in Scotland, this is Timothy’s 3rd top-flight title in Europe.
