Candidate for President · Somali Football Federation · 2027
Rebuild Somali Football.
From grassroots to greatness.
A credible plan for an open, accountable federation and a fair football opportunity for every region, club and talent.
The choice
The talent is here. The opportunity must reach everyone.
Somali football has passion, pride and potential. What it needs now is stronger institutions, a national pathway and a federation that serves the whole game, not a narrow circle.
This campaign is about turning belief into structure, and structure into progress.Why I am running
Football deserves leadership that understands the pitch and the boardroom.
I have lived the game as a youth player in Europe, a Somalia international and a club executive. I also know what it takes to build organisations, teams and opportunity. I am running to bring those worlds together in service of Somali football.

Opportunity cannot depend on your postcode, gender or connections.
The national game grows when the door is open to every player, coach, referee, club and community from Mogadishu to every Federal Member State and across the diaspora.
A national football pathway
Every talent should know the next step.
Vision 2034 connects local participation to elite football through one visible, national development pathway.
The flagship initiative

A standardised, self-contained football ecosystem in every Federal Member State—built around elite surfaces, education, residency and year-round local use.
