youth football tournament in Doha and made Djibouti’s first major international approach when they lost 1-0 to Lebanon in the final are now playing for the military team and with having those talented girls the team had massively dominated the whole 10-team women’s league.

league, made more progress to lift the trophies for seasons 2014-2015 and

efforts to make our women’s football alive after years of absence” said
