"Freeport" on tuntud oma agressiivse mängustiili ja vägevate ründajate poolest. Viimastel aastatel on meeskond tegutsenud ka Aafrika klubide võistlustel, saavutades märkimisväärset edu CAF-i Konföderatsiooni karikavõistlustel.
Praegune "Freeport" meeskond on tasakaalukas segu kogenud veteraanidest ja paljulubavatest noortest mängijatest. Meeskonda juhib treener Samuel Thompson, endine Liberia koondise mängija.
"Freeport" on üks populaarsemaid jalgpallimeeskondi Libeerias ja nende mängud pakuvad alati põnevust ja meelelahutust.
