    Magala,
    There is no country willing to come here (Somalia). Thats
    why we want to go to Ethiopia to have international friendly
    games so that they can get the experience before Niger. I
    think after those games, they will gain something before we
    go to the game.

    and get motivated as the players play in a place different from their
    home as other national teams do. At that venue, they will stay for
    one month and all those facilities. The Ethiopians have accepted
    and we will face Niger God willing, on October 9; and the return leg
    will be in Niamey on October 13.

    SCRIPT
    MOGADISHU - Somalias national soccer team has began
    preparations ahead of their game with Niger in the round one for the
    2018 World Cup qualifiers in Russia.
    On September 9, the Ocean Stars will shift their training camp to
    Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa for one month, in preparation for the
    first round game against the Nigers Menas on October 9.
    The winner in the two-leg tie between Niger and Somalia, will
    advance to round two and face Cameroons Indomitable Lions.
    The Somali Football Federation (SFF) hired Ugandan coaches
    Livingstone Mbabazi and his assistant James Magala to facilitate the
    training.
    James Magala, the assistant national team coach said camping in
    Ethiopia will enable the national team to play a number of friendly
    matches with Ethiopian clubs and the Ethiopian national team.
    Magala said, There is no country willing to come here (Somalia).
    Thats why we want to go to Ethiopia to have international friendly
    games so that they can get the experience before Niger. I think after
    those games, they will gain something before we go to the game.
    Abdiqani Said Arab, the President of the Somali Football Federation
    (SFF) hopes to woo foreign-based players of Somali descent playing
    in soccer leagues of Netherlands, England, Germany, Turkey and
    Kuwait.

    According to Abdiqani, moving the training camp to Addis Ababa


    one month in advance will enable players adapt to the weather
    conditions.
    Abdiqani said, We have managed to arrange for the team to go to
    Ethiopia where they will stay for one month. This is to enable them
    adapt to the weather and the stadium and get motivated as the
    players play in a place different from their home as other national
    teams do. At that venue they will stay for one month and all those
    facilities. The Ethiopians have accepted and we will face Niger godwilling, on October 9; and the return leg will be in Niamey on
    October 13.
    Hassan Ali Roble Babay, the Somalia national team captain said
    the team is training hard in order to win the game and qualify for
    round two.
    We want to bring back something to make the people happy. If we
    win, it will be for us as Somalia. We will get a name, dignity and we
    need to beat Niger, Cameroon and make history and play in the
    qualifiers, said Hassan
