Liberia president George Weah featured for the national team in a 2-1 home defeat by Nigeria in Monrovia on Tuesday.
The 51 year old ,who was the first African footballer to win Fifa's World Player of the Year award, featured for 79 minutes and received a standing ovation as he was substituted.

Liberia arranged the friendly to retire their number 14 shirt, worn by Weah at his playing peak.

Goals from Henry Onyekuru and Simeon Nwankwo helped Nigeria to a 2-0 lead before the hosts pulled one back through a Kpah Sherman penalty late in the game.

Weah enjoyed a career in Europe spanning nearly a decade and a half that saw him play for Monaco, PSG and Marseille in France, Milan in Italy and English sides Manchester City and Chelsea.

His popularity from his playing career saw him secure a landslide run-off win last December in Liberia's presidential elections.
