According to a press statement by President
Souleiman Hasssan Waberi in Friday’s meeting both sides raised issues relating
to the promotion of football in the small horn of Africa country where CAF
leaders pledged more assistance to help the Djibouti FA successfully accomplish
the ongoing football development programs.
"We
have presented to CAF president and his secretary General a document carrying a
full activity plan for the years to come—that plan illustrates how hugely we
are committed to promoting the beautiful
game in the country” the president said in his press statement Friday.
He said that CAF leaders fully lauded for the
successive activities by his federation including the recent historic move to
insure Djibouti football players and the entire soccer volunteers in the
country and as well as the biggest ever grassroots development programme which was
launched in Djibouti in January this year.
"The hands of CAF are open to Djibouti and in
my capacity as president I pledge that CAF will do all it can to help the growth
of football in Djibouti---We are really very admired at the development
programs launched in Djibouti so far and CAF is committed to encouraging such
moves taken for the promotion of football” CAF president Isse Hayatou told the
visiting Djibouti FA delegation.
This was the first such visit by the Djibouti
FA leaders to CAF headquarters since president Souleiman came to power in November
last year. President Souleiman Hassan Waberi was accompanied in the meeting by
his first vice president Mr. Mohamed yacin yonis and treasure Ali Harred Mohamed.
