He urged the squad to represent the name and flag of Somalia with honour, stressing that any victory would be a symbol of national pride and reputation.
“Dekadaha FC carries the name of the nation, and we are committed to supporting any team that elevates Somalia’s image,” said Ambassador Ameriko, who previously served as Somalia’s ambassador to Kenya.
He recalled his past experiences in Nairobi when Somalia’s national team played there, highlighting how the Somali community filled the stadiums. He noted that even Kenyan newspapers reported at the time that the atmosphere in the stands felt “just like Mogadishu.”
