"I have been involved in football in most of my life from childhood to the present moment, I love football and I love Elman FC. I left my post as the club’s chairman, but I promise that I will always be available for help and I will remain as a member of the Somali football Family” he said.

"I am leaving my post as Elman FC chairman due to lack of enough time to lead the club and that is the main reason for me to quit.
