Thank you for sharing this information. It’s significant to see the resolution of the internal crisis in the Djiboutian Football Federation (FDF) with the election of Souleiman Hassan Waberi as the new president. The fact that he was acclaimed as the only candidate by representatives of the 57 clubs reflects a unity of purpose and a shared commitment to the development of football in Djibouti.
Souleiman Hassan Waberi’s statement emphasizes the collective goal of working for the progress of Djiboutian football. His election marks a transition from the previous leadership, with Houssein Fadoul having been dismissed in June after 18 years in charge.
The presence of Prosper Abega, representing FIFA and CAF at the congress, underscores the importance of collaboration and unity to overcome challenges and elevate Djiboutian football on the global stage. The FIFA ranking of Djibouti at 202nd in the world and 52nd in Africa highlights the opportunities for growth and improvement in the country’s football.
It will be interesting to see how the new leadership, in collaboration with the football family in Djibouti, works to address challenges and enhance the standing of Djiboutian football on both continental and international platforms.
