Somali Super Cup Match

The Super Cup match played on Sunday June 5, 2022, marked the conclusion of the Somali footballing year 2020-2021 which has so far been recorded as the longest footballing season in the country’s history due to a prolonged turmoil within the federation that crippled the country’s football activities since July last year.

FIFA Steps In

The turmoil resulted in the stepping aside of former Somali Football Federation president and as a result FIFA appointed his senior vice president to serve as acting president until next election congress due in November this year. FIFA drew a roadmap for the interim administration which must be followed accordingly.
