Somali Volleyball Federation Secretary General Mohamed Abukar Hirei addressed the closing ceremony and noted that volleyball had attracted increasing interest amongst the Somali people following the federation’s return to the world volleyball arena last year.
“On behalf of the Somali Volleyball Federation, I would like to thank JUBBA Airways and Daalo Airline who donated equipment to the participating teams,” he said. “Our teams have no sponsors and without JUBBA and Daalo we couldn’t have had such a successful competition.
“Volleyball is now growing here in Somalia and we are planning to participate in the near future in Zone 5 beach volleyball competitions.” The Secretary General added that his federation would also participate in FIVB and CAVB meetings.
Somali Volleyball Federation President Engineer Abdulkader Omar Abukar thanked African Volleyball Confederation President Amir Elwani who, he said, was strongly committed to helping promote volleyball in Somalia.
“I also would like to thank CAVB Director Mrs. Howda Mondy who assisted in the revival of Somalia’s influence in Africa as well as in the Zone 5 area,” President Abukar added.
