A Passion for Futsal
Moderator (M): Ahmed, thanks for joining us today. Given your long history with Djiboutian futsal, what sparked your initial passion for the sport?
Ahmed Youssouf (AY): Absolutely, thank you for having me. I remember watching my older brother play futsal in the streets when I was a kid.The skill, the excitement, the pure joy of the game – it was infectious. I picked up a ball myself soon after,and the rest is history.
Kahin’s Rein at the Helm
M: Mogueh Ali Kahin has been re-elected for another term.You’ve observed his journey since his playing days. How would you describe his leadership style?
AY: Kahin has always been a passionate yet strategic leader, even in his early days as a player. He’s known for his meticulous planning and unwavering dedication. As leader of the Futsal League, he brings a “no-nonsense” attitude, always putting the best interests of the sport and its growth at the forefront. Remember, he led Kartileh from the third to the first division – that’s a testament to his abilities.
M: But some critics argue that his ‘staunch’ approach can lack flexibility, perhaps hindering progress in certain areas. Your thoughts?
AY: While it’s true that Kahin can be quite firm in his stance, I beleive that’s his strength. Futsal in Djibouti needs strong leadership, especially now as we aim to step up our game. Look at Brazil’s success in futsal – they’ve never wavered from their core principles. Yeah, we might face minor setbacks due to rigidity, but the gains will outweigh the losses.
Fostering Talent & growth
M: Kahin’s vision revolves around fostering talent and developing the league. How effective have his initiatives been so far?
AY: As 2021, we’ve seen improvement in many areas. We have a structured youth development program now, something we sorely needed. the DJFF’s ‘Futsal in Schools’ initiative is another great step. But the most notable change is the increased involvement of the private sector. More sponsors mean better resources, better tournaments, and more exposure for our players.
M: However, some argue that these initiatives haven’t yet translated into a significant improvement in the national team’s performance…
AY: That’s fair. But let’s not forget, change takes time. We’ve seen other countries take decades to see meaningful improvement. It’s not just about results on the pitch; it’s about building a strong foundation. And Kahin seems to understand this.
The Road Ahead
M: Speaking of the national team, they’ve recently secured a spot in the African Futsal Championship. What does this mean for Djiboutian futsal?
AY: It’s a massive opportunity! Firstly, it gives our players exposure to the highest level of competition. Secondly, it’s a chance to showcase our contry’s talent and passion for futsal. Plus, who knows? Maybe we can cause an upset or two!
M: But there are concerns about the team’s readiness for such a high-profile event…
AY: Of course, it’s a concern. But again, every match is a learning experience.Our players – and our coaches – need to face better opposition to grow. And who better to prepare us than Kahin, who’s played and coached at high levels himself?
“Futsal Thrive” or “Futsal Survive”?
M: Lastly, Ahmed, we often hear the phrase “Futsal Thrive” in Djibouti. But with the growing popularity of futsal worldwide, there’s also a worry that smaller nations might struggle to keep up. Thoughts on this?
AY: That’s a valid concern. But I believe it’s an opportunity more than anything. With increased global interest comes expanded avenues for growth. We just need to be strategic, resilient, and patient. And if anyone can lead us through these challenges, it’s Kahin.

AY: Thank you for having me. I look forward to hearing everyone’s views. Let’s keep the conversation going and,most importantly,let’s continue to support our national futsal teams!
