A high level delegation from Somali Football Federation under the chairmanship of president Said Mahmoud Nur on Wednesday morning visited two young football players who were slightly wounded in last week’s suicide explosions in Mogadishu.


During the visit the Somali Football Federation President Mr. Said Mahmoud Nur presented cash to the young footballers Siid Ali Mohamed Xiis and Mahmoud Amin Mohamed who recovered from minor injuries they sustained from last week’s suicide attacks in
Mogadishu that killed also killed another U-20 Abdi Slaan Mohamed Ali.

 

The Somali Football Federation president Said Mahmoud Nur delivered a warm greeting from FIFA boss Joseph .S. Blatter to the young footballers saying that it was an honor for them to receive greetings from such great leader.

 

“First we pray to Allah to rest our beloved player in his paradise and we hope you full recovery from your wounds” Somali FA president Said Mahmoud Nur told the young players during the visit after they were discharged from hospital.

 

“The problem occurred in my absence as I was participating CAF congress in Khartoum—you cant imagine how frustrated I was when I heard the said news, but praise be to Allah If I see you a live” president Said Mahmoud Nur said.

 

One of the wounded players Siid Ali Mohamed Xiis thanked Somali Football Federation for remembering them.” Your precious visit costs a million to us and it really encourages us” he told the SFF authorities.

 

“It had never happened in Somalia that football president and his deputies pay such visit to their young players while in problems—so I can say that the current SFF leaders are more honest than those in the past”  Mahmoud Ibrahim Absuge {Adkeysi} told during Wednesday’s visit.
