U.S. Embassy Hosts Eastleigh Soccer Tournament

The U.S. embassy’s Somalia Unit hosted a soccer tournament for Somali youth in Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighborhood on April 18. The theme was “Youth United for Peace in Somalia.” Over 150 Somali youth spent the day playing soccer games, but also reflecting on the parallels between cooperation on the sports field and in the context of rebuilding Somalia.

The U.S. embassy thanks the organizers, participants, and other parties who assisted in making this tournament a success.
