Held at the Sahafi Hotel in Mogadishu, the football media
training workshop was the second of its kind organized by the SFF and it was
mainly intended to boost the journalists’ general knowledge for the game and as
well as to promote their writing skills.
SFF senior vice president, Ali Abdi Mohamed, who spoke at
the conclusion ceremony of the workshop, expressed a warm admiration for the
role that local journalists have been playing in the development of the game in
Somalia. He added that the Somali media used their profession in the right
direction to help promote football in the country.
Somali Football Federation, [SFF] president, Abdiqani Said Arab, added that Somali media is a vital organ which has always been very crucial for developing football in the country.
"We believe that you [media people] have a significant
percentage in every progress that Somalia football has made so far. The number of
spectators coming to football facilities in the country has hugely increased
and that is because of the work by the football journalists” president Abdiqani
Said Arab said during his address at the closing ceremony on Monday.
The president announced that such media training workshop
