President Arab made the announcement in a press
statement released here on Sunday after consultative meetings with the SFF executive
board and as well as the authorities of football clubs in the country.
In the past, the Somali Football league had only 8
teams in participation, but due to the needs for having a greater league, the
SFF has taken the decision to rise up the league participation from 8 to 10
clubs.
The expansion of the league participation was one of several developmental goals announced by the SFF president Abdiqani Said Arab in his post election address a month ago.
"To have a greater league will result in having
more matches played and that will make the league more competitive and as well
as more interesting and that is why as a president I have decided to increase
the league participation after consultations with my executive committee and football
clubs” SFF president Abdiqani Said Arab said in his press release on Sunday.
The development has attracted much welcome and
appreciation from the authorities of Football Clubs in the country who praised
the president for realising the implementation of one of several pledges he
made in a few weeks time. However, the 2014-2015 National league will kick on
Friday 19th of December as shown in the released fixtures.
