A total of 24 coaches were awarded with the CAF “C” License certificates after successfully passing both practical and theory sessions. Somali instructors: Awil Ismail Mohamed and Mohamed Abdulle Farayare were teaching at the course which was held at the SFF headquarters in the capital Mogadishu from 20-25 December 2015.
Both Somali instructors gained their CAF “A” Licenses in 2014 and were given the go ahead as CAF instructors by the African Football governing body [CAF] and with their promotion to this level, Somalia seems to have grown a bit.

ceremony for the course, said that his country has now come of age and he was hopeful that the number of qualified Somali instructors will increase in the years to come.
“Now we have two Somali experts who have successfully done this CAF level coaching course—We are now hopeful that Somalia will soon have its FIFA level instructors and I am sure that will happen because Somalia’s knowledge and experience in football is growing” said the senior vice president who congratulated the graduated coaches on their gaining of the CAF
