History
On August 19, 2017, the Somali Football Federation (SFF) closed its headquarters for seven days to mourn the death of Osman Jama Diraa, a member of the executive committee who was killed in the capital. SFF President Abdiqani Said Arab said, "We have lost a great friend and brother who dedicated much of his life to developing the game. The seven days of mourning are just a formality, but he will always be remembered. His death is a great loss for us." The SFF executive committee decided to stop all football-related activities during this time.[2]
