Club career

Career start at home

Kwame Quee was born on September 7, 1996 and began his club football career in the youth division of Doutcher United . This was followed by positions as a youth player with Sierra Rangers and Papa Jack FC , before Quee switched to the offspring of FC Johansen , which was founded in 2004, in 2009 . When he was around 15, he made the leap into the men's team, which was represented in the Sierra Leonean Premier League for the first time this season after a successful second division season . In the final standings, FC Johansen was fourth in the table and was the only Sierra Leonean representative to take part in the 2013 CAF Confederation Cup . However, the club was eliminated in the preliminary round against the Barrack Young Controllers from Liberia with a total score of 0: 1 from the current tournament.

In the following game year 2013 , the game was stopped in the first month (July) after ten of 14 clubs decided to boycott their games in protest against the exclusion of five people from the elections of the Sierra Leonean Football Association . In mid-September 2013 an attempt was made to resume play, which was only possible to a very limited extent due to the ongoing boycott of a large part of the field of participants. FC Johansen was one of the few clubs that did not take part in the boycott. Nothing can be said about the exact placement of the club at the end of the season; the master was apparently determined in October 2013 in a final game and resulted in the Diamond Stars as the master.

The 2014 game year , which started the following March, was canceled after completing 13 championship rounds in early July due to a serious Ebola fever epidemic . In the largely dense table, Quee and his team were in eighth place at this time. After the game operation was completely failed in 2015, occurred from the beginning of 2016 eleven teams in a so-called rebels League ( Engl. : Rebels league ) against each other. Three clubs in the 2014 league, including FC Johansen, owned by Isha Johansen , President of the Sierra Leonean Football Association, refused to participate in this unofficial league. The team around the 1.85 m tall midfielder appeared this year in the Sierra Leonean soccer cup and made it to the final. The capital city club emerged as a cup winner against the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces from Makeni after a 1-0 victory. In the summer of 2016, Quee completed a three-week trial training session at the Danish first division club Randers FC , which, however, did not result in any commitment by the then 19-year-old Sierra Leonean. In the two following years 2017 and 2018 there were also no matches in the highest Sierra-Leonean football league. As the winner of the FA Cup 2016, Quee took part with FC Johansen in the CAF Champions League 2017 and was eliminated with his team in the preliminary round against FUS de Rabat with a total score of 1: 4.

Change to Iceland on loan

At the same time, however, Quee had already been awarded to the UMF Víkingur with play in the highest Icelandic football league . At the club from the small community of Ólafsvík in northwest Iceland , he made his debut about a week after his commitment on May 14, 2017 in a 3-1 away win over UMF Grindavík , when his coach Ejub Purišević used him in central midfield from the start. After he was given a yellow card by the referee in the 65th minute of play , he was sent off with a yellow-red card in the 82nd minute . After serving his yellow card suspension, he scored the only goal of his team in the following game against Breiðablik Kópavogur , a 1: 2 away defeat. In the rest of the season he acted mostly as a regular in the central or attacking midfield, but was occasionally used by Purišević as a left midfielder. By the end of the 2017 game year , Quee had made 15 league appearances and three goals and was ranked eleventh with the team, which meant relegation to the 1st deild karla , the second highest football league in Iceland. Furthermore, this year he made a goalless appearance in the Icelandic Football Cup 2017 .

In the 1st deild karla 2018 , Quee was also a loan player to Ungmennafélagið Víkingur and was also a regular player this time. Until his first championship goal, however, it took until the seventh round of the game this time. Subsequently, he regularly scored goals in the remaining two thirds of the season, where he had made 21 of 22 possible league appearances and eleven goals by the end of the season. With his eleven goals he was not only the most successful goalscorer in the team - one goal ahead of Spaniard Gonzalo Zamorano - but also ranked fourth in the league-wide list of goalscorers. In the final classification of the Icelandic second division, the midfielder and his team finished fourth in the table - six points away from a promotion position. In addition, the midfielder was used in three or four games of the Icelandic Football Cup 2018 , where he was able to contribute a total of one goal and only eliminated with the team on penalties in the semi-final against Breiðablik Kópavogur from the tournament. He also made a number of appearances in the Icelandic League Cup for UMF Víkingur .

After a two-year loan period, Quee returned to his home country at the end of 2018, where he briefly trained again with FC Johansen. After a little over years, the Sierra Leone Premier League officially resumed its gaming operations in 2019 ; of the 14 official teams that took part, FC Johansen was the only one to cancel their participation before the start of the season. The FC Johansen was still listed in the official league table, albeit in last place.

Fixed Iceland change in 2019

Between December 2018 and February 2019 Quees made a permanent move to Iceland after signing a two-year contract with first division club Breiðablik Kópavogur. For the club, he played in four games of the Icelandic League Cup between February and March 2019, but was unable to fully convince his coach Ágúst Gylfason for the 2019 game year beginning at the end of April 2019 and only acted as a substitute player from the start. From the bench, the Sierra Leoner was also hardly taken into account and only came to the first league appearance for his new club in the fifth game of the season, a 0-1 defeat of Breiðablik Kópavogur, who was in second place in the table at that time, against the first-placed ÍA Akranes . Even in the games that followed, he was mostly an unused substitute or didn't even belong to the extended squad. In addition, however, he was also considered with appearances in the Icelandic Football Cup 2019 .

In order to gain match practice, Quee was loaned out to league rivals Víkingur Reykjavík in June 2019 until the end of the game year . With the team at the bottom of the table, he quickly acted as a regular in midfield under coach Arnar Gunnlaugsson , but was only able to contribute his first goals and assists after a few championship games in August 2019. Mostly used in the central and offensive midfield, his positions varied a few times over the course of the game year, so that Quee was also used as a right winger or right back. By the end of the 2019 game year, the Sierra Leonean international had made twelve league appearances, as well as four goals and three assists. In the end, he ranked with Víkingur Reykjavík in seventh place in the table, whereas his regular club Breiðablik Kópavogur finished the year in second place in the table. After Víkingur Reykjavík knocked out Breiðablik Kópavogur 3-1 in the semi-finals of the 2019 Icelandic Cup, the team also won the final against Hafnarfjörður 1-0 and became Icelandic Football Cup winners for the second time in the club's history.

For the 2020 game year , which starts at the end of April 2020, Quee is again scheduled as a player at his home club Breiðablik Kópavogur.

National team career

As early as 2013, Quee took part in the 2013 WAFU Nations Cup in Ghana , scoring the only goal for his home country in his first group game, losing 4-1 to the hosts. Sierra Leone then played two more group games (against Benin and Burkina Faso) and was the last in Group A to be eliminated from the tournament. It is not known exactly whether Quee was also used in the other two group games and whether these games were rated for the senior national team. In any case, the various statistics sites do not list Quees' stakes in the senior national team of his home country. He made his official debut on July 19, 2014 in a qualifying game for the Africa Cup of 2015 for the senior national team in his home country, when he was coached by national coach Johnny McKinstry , who was the youngest national team coach at the age of 27 when he took over the national team a year earlier worldwide, came on the field in the third round first leg against the Seychelles in the 82nd minute of play for Mohamed Kamanor .

Even before that, in spring 2014 he took part in Sierra Leone's four international matches with the Sierra Leonean U-20 team during qualification for the U-20 African Championship . With his home country, however, he was eliminated in the first round of the qualification against his colleagues from Ghana . After he was no longer considered for the Sierra Leone national team, the now national coach John Ajina Sesay let him play for the full 90 minutes in left midfield in the last game of Group D against the Democratic Republic of the Congo . The last one of the group but the team did not manage to feed to January-February 2015 Equatorial Guinea held finals . In the two weeks that followed, Quee also played in the first and second leg of the qualifying round for the 2016 African Nations Cup against Mauritania and lost the two games with an aggregate result of 1: 4.

With the Sierra Leonean U-23 national team he also took part in the qualification for the U-23 Africa Cup in 2015 . Since the Guinea-Bissau U-23 national team , Sierra Leone's first opponent, withdrew their participation before the first round, Sierra Leone automatically moved into the subsequent second round of qualification. In the subsequent 0-0 draw in the first leg against Cameroon's U-23s , Quee was in action; also in the later second leg, when Sierra Leone moved into the subsequent third qualifying round after a 1-1 draw due to the away goals rule . In this, however, the team failed with a total score of 0: 2 to Algeria . Between these qualifying games for the Sierra Leonean U-23 selection, however, Quee also made another appearance in the senior national team when he played the first group game of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification against Sudan for his home country . After the 0-1 defeat there, Sellas Tetteh used him in the second group game against Ivory Coast in the left midfield in September 2015 .

Just one month later, Quee played two games for Sierra Leone against Chad to qualify for the 2018 World Cup , after which Chad moved into the second round of qualification due to the away goals rule. The following March 2016 followed three friendly international matches against Malawi (1 game) and Gabon (2 games) for the offensive player , before Quee played his third qualifying game for the Africa Cup 2017 in early June 2016; followed by the fourth and final qualifying game in September 2016. After this, the midfielder and his home country ranked second behind the Ivory Coast and barely missed participation in the final round, which will take place in Gabon between January and February 2017 . In the next few months it was largely silent about the multiple Sierra Leonean Internationals; Only in June 2017 was Quee brought back by John Keister for the first qualifying game for the Africa Cup 2019 , a 2-1 home win over Kenya in the Sierra Leonean national team. This use, in which he was on the field for the full game, remained the exception.

It then took another 15 months before he was considered again for the national team. In the second qualifying game for the Africa Cup of 2019, Quee was used by John Keister two days after his 22nd birthday in the 1-0 defeat against Ethiopia from the start and up to the 54th minute of the game. Just a month later, Sierra Leone was suspended by FIFA , the team was subsequently excluded from the competition by the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) and the games that had been played up to then were canceled. After that, another year passed without an international match Quees, who had meanwhile moved permanently to Iceland. On the occasion of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup , the 1.85 m tall offensive player completed two international matches against Liberia around his 23rd birthday ; With an aggregate result of 2-3, Sierra Leone was eliminated in the first qualifying round. Quee had contributed the only goal of his home country in the 1: 3 defeat in the first leg. Two months later, Sellas Tetteh used him as a regular in the first two qualifying games for the Africa Cup in 2021 . In the 1-1 draw in the first game against Lesotho , Quee scored a goal.
