The second edition of the Somali Regional Football
Tournament for Peace and Development has failed to start on the scheduled time,
due to the continuation of the presence of African Union Peace keepers at the
country’s largest sports facility ‘Stadium Mogadishu’ where the tournament was
expected to kick off by December 28.
Somali Football Federation Secretary General Abdi Qani Said
Arab said in a press statement that because of the lack of facilities his
federation had decided to postpone the regional tournament until next year.
