History
Elman Football Club is based in Mogadishu and named in honour of the late peace activist Elman Ali Ahmed. Founded around 1990, the club became a leading side in the Somali Premier League, collecting multiple league titles and remaining a reference point for capital-city football. Home matches are associated with Banadir Stadium. Elman’s story is inseparable from Mogadishu’s wider effort to keep competitive football alive through difficult years.
