Somaliland national football team in the african nation cup uk
The Somaliland National Football Team is the football team that represents Somaliland, a self-declared republic that is internationally recognized as a de facto state. Although Somaliland is a de facto state, it has not yet received international de jure recognition. As part of the defunct former Somali Republic, which was a member of FIFA, and the CAF, the Somaliland squad is not a member of any of those international football organizations.
