Organisation of Football in Somalia

The organisation of football in Somalia is structured around a hierarchical league system, allowing clubs to progress or regress based on their performances. This structure is divided into several levels, ranging from professional football to amateur football.

At the top of the hierarchy is the Somali Premier League, which is the highest level of Somali football. It brings together the best clubs in the country who compete for the title of Somalia champion. The least performing clubs at the end of the season may be relegated to a lower level, although the specific details of relegation are not clearly defined.

Below the Somali Premier League, there are several regional and district leagues that constitute the lower levels of Somali football. These leagues provide a platform for grassroots football development and serve as a breeding ground for discovering new talents.

Despite the challenges the country faces, football remains a popular sport in Somalia and continues to play a crucial role in promoting peace and unity among Somalis. Efforts are ongoing to improve the organisation and structure of football in the country, with support from international organisations such as FIFA.

The Somali Football Federation (SFF)

The Somali Football Federation (SFF) is the official body overseeing football in Somalia. Established in 1951, the SFF is responsible for organizing and developing football at all levels within the country, from amateur football to professional competitions. It also manages the national teams, including the men's, women's, and youth teams. Its role extends to implementing the rules of the game, promoting sportsmanship, and guiding ethics in the sport.

Under the auspices of the SFF is the Somali Football League, which manages the men's and women's professional leagues. The SFF also organizes the Somali Cup, a competition open to all Somali clubs, from amateur to professional. Beyond competitions, the SFF places a strong emphasis on developing women's football, sports infrastructure, and training programs for players and coaches.
