However, we are not aware of this decision to travel to Mogadishu and play matches. If Djibouti agreement includes such provisions. Its organization, implementation and timing is up to the government.”

This comes a day after the municipality football club announced that they will travel to Mogadishu, the Somali capital in order to have friendly matches with local football clubs based in the capital.
