Historic day Tuesday in Mogadisco. The capital of Somalia hosted a football match in its new stadium. This after 16 years of waiting.

Tuesday, the poster opposed Mogadishu City Club and Horseed Sports Club for the inauguration of the new enclosure. Under the eyes of Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, President of the Republic.

“The Mogadishu Stadium is now ready and the Somali Football Federation is pleased to announce that the Ocean Stars will be able to play their home matches in the country,” said Abdiqani Said Arab, President of the Somali Football Federation, SFF.

The Mogadisco stadium was built in 1977. But in 1991, the country fell into chaos and several years of civil war ensued. Somalia is also prohibited from hosting home games. It is therefore only recently and with the normalization of things that the country has obtained the right to receive at home.

In addition, with the support of FIFA, a new stadium is under construction in the port city of Kismayo (Waamo Football Stadium).
