“I want to thank Somali Football Media Department for the news we receive from Somalia. I also wish to congratulate SFF leadership for reviving University Games and for all their efforts to establish structures for football development in Somalia” Musonye added in his letter sent to Somali Football Federation on Monday.

He said that he was personally very proud of Somali people for their support of the spreading of football activities across the country which has been experiencing one of the world’s most dangerous security situations for the past two decades.
