A Soccer Festival for Young Girls in Djibouti

Jibouti – A soccer festival in Djibouti has attracted the attention of more than two hundred young girls, aged between 12-14 years.

The festival which was hosted at the Djiboutian Football Federation’s technical centre over the weekend was the first of its kind organized in the country. The event was mainly intended to get more young girls into football, as Djibouti is eying on the development of women’s football in the small horn of African country.

“In the past several months we witnessed that our women football made real progress as our girls were seen performing well in all women’s tournaments they participated since early this year” FDF president Souleiman told a gathering during the festival over the weekend.
