Somalia’s first-ever Under-17 Women’s National Football Team will make history on Saturday when they take on hosts Tanzania in their opening match of the CECAFA U-17 Women’s Championship in Dar es Salaam.
The fixture marks a landmark moment for Somali football, as the newly formed side makes its debut on the regional stage. It will also be the first-ever meeting between Somalia and Tanzania at the U-17 women’s level.
The team’s participation reflects the continued growth of women’s football in Somalia and represents a significant step forward in the country’s efforts to develop the women’s game. A positive result against the hosts would provide an encouraging start to Somalia’s historic campaign.
