Giving moral support to women footballers and the
organization of women’s football league is part of the struggle by President
Souleiman Hassan Waberi and his executive committee to revive women football in
the country after years of absence of a stronger women’s football involvement
in Djibouti.
The donation was jointly presented to the captains of 8
women’s football teams by Djibouti FA’s women football committee chair person
Koureicha Ali Guedi along with President Souleiman Hassan and Ahmed El Shenawi
from FIFA RDO in Cairo who is currently in Djibouti for the Somali refereeing
course.
On behalf of FIFA Mr. El Shenawi praised president
Souleiman for fulfilling his previous pledges of reviving women football, grassroots
and regional football tourneys. "I confirm that there is a real development of
football in Djibouti and I will deliver such message to the world of football”
Mr. El Shenawi told the equipment presentation ceremony On Tuesday.
"These teams are in preparations for participating in the
2013 women’s football championship in Djibouti, we have been putting a great
deal of efforts to reviving women football and as well as the grassroots
development program since we were elected to office last November, so this is
to present what we have done to the world football governing body FIFA and to
our people too” president Souleiman Hassan Waberi noted during his address at
the equipment presentation ceremony Tuesday.
"Our objective is to help our women fully participate and
play their role in the promotion of football in Djibouti—that included in my previous
promises and also in the documents I delivered to FIFA and CAF during my recent
trips to Zurich and Cairo” the president emphasized.
Football-loving people in Djibouti are fully admired at
the young age president’s dedication and commitment to football in the country.
"Our president is well experienced in football, nearly 10 years he has been
serving as FIFA commissioner and CAF referee instructor—also for the past 16
years he has been the most active man in Djibouti football and with his
knowledge and commitment we hope football in Djibouti will fully grow” CDE/ Colas
FC secretary General Aden Ahmed Miguil told the media.
