Somalia has never been to a FIFA World Cup and is not
even one of this year’s FIFA World Cup participants, but the nation’s Sky blue
flag with the white star in the middle has been seen being waved in a big
gathering in Moscow.
Three Somali teenagers Abdirahman Mohamud Jama, Abdullahi Ali Hassan and Zakaria
Ahmed Mohamed are in Moscow carrying the nation’s flag on their shoulders, as
they participate in the Football for Friendship event in Moscow.
The boys, sent by Somali Football Federation, have joined more than 1500 other teenagers from around the world, who are enjoying in this year’s Football for Friendship event in Moscow, Russia.
The teenagers were part of the
Ocean Stars youngsters who wrote a history during the recent CECAFA U-17
tournament in Burundi when they showed the world that Somalia have the talent to
play in the final of an international football event. This was for the first
time in history that Somalia reached such state in a football competition.
