For the first time in Somalia’s football history, the first football match

 

in the country will be watched live this week.

 

All arrangements have been made for the final match of the 2015 edition of

General Da’ud cup, which will be broadcasted live on the Somali National

Television [sNTV].

 

In the final match, Somali military club [Horseed] will take on their

rivals of Somali police Football Club [Heegan FC].

 

Somali Football Federation president, Abdiqani Said Arab, described the

first time live coverage as ‘another great step’ taken forward by the SFF

which is now recovering from decades-long unrest and lawlessness.

 

“It is a breakthrough, we had long dreamed of getting our matches watched

lives. This is almost the realisation of our age-old dreams.

 

“This will be a test, but if we are successful in this endeavour, we will

try to get our matches go live in the months to come” president Abdiqani

Said Arab, explained.

 

The president noted that the live coverage will be implemented by the

Somali Football federation with the help from the National Television and

the facilitation from Horn Connect.

 

“We express our gratitude to the State Television and the privately-owned

Horn Connect for helping our dreams come true. We hope to develop our

cooperation with these two organizations” SFF president, Abdiqani Said

Arab, noted in press statement on Wednesday.

 

General Da’ud Cup is the second most watched sporting event in Somalia and

it is held every year in the remembrance of the founder of Somalia’s Armed

Forces, General Da’ud Abdulle Hersi.

 

The late General Da’ud was born in 1924 in the village of Mareeg south

east of the country. He died in 1965, but Somali Football Federation has

been organizing the annual football event since 1972.
