Djibouti Telecom has retained its National football league title after winning the country's elite football league known here as the [FDF Division 1] on Friday 20th of May.
The 3-0 triumph over AS Port FC rivals from a match
played at the National Technical Centre facility, saw the Djibouti Telecom FC
celebrate their 4th successive title this year. They won their first
league title in 2009, but made a comeback in 2013 and have been the country’s champions
since then.
Thousands of cheering chanting fans occupied the stadium
early enough to avoid missing seats. Some of the fans were seen performing
their Friday prayers in the stadium’s praying room. Several key officials
enjoyed the match including the president of Djibouti Football Federation,
Souleiman Hassan Waberi, members of his executive committee, Djibouti Telecom
sales manager, Mohamed Omar and the president of the winning club Mohamed Doualeh
.
With this win,
Djibouti Telecom has booked their place in the upcoming CECAFA Kagame Club Cup
due in Tanzania in July this year. Despite being Djibouti’s champions for
years, the team’s performance at last year’s CECAFA club cub was too slow, but
its authorities are now saying they have made major changes and are hopeful to
show some progress in the upcoming CECAFA event.
