The meeting also approved the holding of football championship for the division A teams in Mogadishu and the regional football tournament, both slated for October this year.

According to a communiqué from the meeting, the regional football tournament will hosted in the city of Garowe, the provincial capital of the Somali semiautonomous regional state of Puntland.

15 regions and a team representing the Somali Diaspora community will participate in the regional football tourney. The competition was due late last year, but for security reasons and some other difficulties it was postponed.

Somali football federation secretary General Abdi Qani Said Arab said in his opening remarks at the meeting that SFF activities in and out side Somalia will be successive and that there will be high level seminars before the end of the year.

Before announcing the conclusion of the meeting, SFF President Said Mahmoud Nur said that his federation was ready to accomplish its duties in the chaotic country what ever it takes to them.

“I urge every one of you to work as double since a very hard job is waiting for us in this volatile country” the Somali football federation president said directing his words to the executive committee members who attended the meeting.
