SOMALIA —
One of the least developed countries in the world, Somalia has been fraught with chronic instability and civil war since the fall of the government in 1991. Since then, Somalia has never had a central government. There are few opportunities for education, health, or diversion. Against the backdrop of this divided landscape, young footballers and their supporters have shown the potential of their generation. By coming together peacefully in the spirit of competition, youth who have known only insecurity have set an example for the region.
