FBL-SOMALIA-FEATURE
This handout photograph dated 14 January and released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team on January 17, 2013 shows players of Elman Football Club training at their ground in the Hodan District of the Somali capital Mogadishu, ahead of their championship title defence when the new season kicks off in March this year. After two decades of near-constant conflict, Somalia is enjoying its longest period of peace and growing security since the Al-Qaeda-allied violent extremist group Al Shabaab was driven from Mogadishu in August 2011. On January 19, Africa's top football teams will meet in South Africa to contest for the continental's most prestigious football title - the African Nations Cup - and although Somalia has never taken part due to insecurity and the hitherto ban on the playing and watching of football by Al Shabaab, the sport is once more growing in obvious evidence across the city and experiencing a surging revival of fortunes and popularity.
