The youngsters were sent home on Thursday and were expected
to return to camp on Saturday, but they were later informed to remain in doors until
further notice. So far a single case of the pandemic has been found in Somalia
meaning that the disease doesn’t have more impacts on the country, but the SFF
decided to close down the camp to avoid more risks.
RESUMING
OF FOOTBALL COMPETITIONS.
Since football competitions in the country were halted on
March 19, Somali Football Federation has been in consultations with the
government to seek permission to resume football competitions in a way that can
be compatible with the government’s Corona virus protection policy. The SFF requested the government through the minister for
youth and sports Honourable Khadija Mohamed Diriye, to allow the resumption of football
competitions in the country without spectators.
Meanwhile, Somali Football Federation will on Tuesday
launch football development courses including coaching, refereeing and administration
in the city of Beledweyn in the Hir-shabelle State. The courses were scheduled before
the Covid 19 outbreak in the world and the SFF says the government’s Corona
Virus protection policy will still apply during the courses.
