The President of the Somali Football Association, Ali Abdi Mohamed (Shiino), has arrived in El-Dher district in Galmudug State, Somalia, to spearhead efforts in re-establishing sports facilities and organizing football teams.
This initiative is part of broader stabilization plans for areas recently liberated from al-Shabab control.
During the group’s dominance, social activities, including sports, were heavily restricted or banned altogether.
Shiino’s efforts aim to revive community engagement and development through sports, fostering a sense of normalcy and unity in these recovering regions.
