Muqdisho Football Club, established in 2009, is a non-profit organization of long standing in the Somali community. The Goal and Objective of the club is to build and encourage sportsmanship among the youth of our community by fostering and teaching the game of soccer.

Our Mission is “To Provide the Highest Standards of Soccer Development & Enjoyment for ALL our Players from House League to Senior Levels in order to Capture National and Provincial Titles while sharing our Success with ALL members of the Club within our Community under a FAIR and HONORABLE system”.
Since we started, which is one year ago we had successful year 2009-2010 season with over 80+ registered boys players, divided in age groups: from 5 years old to 16 years old.
Muqdisho Football Club, the parents and volunteers also appreciate the many other benefits soccer has on their children’s lives. From its ability to help build team-working skills and active lifestyle habits, to being a great escape from the many negative distractions synonymous with growing up in the city, soccer has an endless supply of positive influences on children’s lives one can’t help but appreciate.
