The Sierra Leone team was expected to compete in six sports. However, the final discipline of artistic gymnastics was withdrawn due to eligibility reasons. The Sierra Leone team consisted of 24 athletes. However final entries only showed 19 athletes (ten men and nine women).
Triple jumper Jordan Aki-Sawyerr was the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, boxer Josefien Betist was the baton bearer during the opening ceremony.
