It is controlled by the Somali Football Federation (SFF), and is a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA).
The Somali Youth League (SYL), the nation's first political party, had put together a team of local youth to play against the Italian expatriate teams.This was seen as the first Somalian youth team.To this day,most Somalians see the Somali Youth League (SYL) as the main source of Somalian youth footballers. Somalia's national u23 football team is relatively new and they have only played 1 match(against Rwanda u23 for u23 CAF 2017) in which the coach,Mbabazi stated the team was "too weak for Rwanda u23."
