Somaliland Community Championship Tournament Report.
The tournament reached an unusual quarter-final stage after Sudan managed to beat Syria, leaving only three teams in contention:
~Kenya
~Sudan, and
~Yemen
A standard semifinal format was no longer possible with an odd number of teams. To resolve the situation, the organizers opted for a toss to decide which team would advance directly to the finals, while the remaining two teams would face each other in a semifinal match.
Kenya was fortunate to win the toss, securing a direct spot in the finals.The other two, Sudan nad Yemen are left to compete in the semifinal for the remaining place in the final match.
Kenya has gained a strategic advantage by avoiding the semifinal, ensuring more rest and preparation time before the final this outcomes has caused unexpected twist to the tournament.
The decision made by organizers has ensured fairness in the competition while maintaining excitement and unpredictability in the path to the championship as the bully Kenyans in Somaliland will have to wait for their clients between Yemen and Sudan.
When we interviewed "Alele Mtoto" a loyal Kenyan fan who was part of the toss expressed confidence in her team winning the tournament that is proudly sponsored by DahabPlus and Somaliland Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs.
