About Somalia national stadium :

Stadium was rebuilt by public volunteers. Not long ago it was a bunker or a place people got executed by Al Shaba

It was used by the UN during Black Hawk Down era early 90s as fortress, then clan militia then Al Shabab, then African Union forces and it was like jungle inside there, the before and after pics.

Stadium Mogadishu, Somalia's largest football play ground was constructed in 1978, and it was once one of the largest and most beautiful stadiums in Africa and the Arab world but the different situations and hardships it has been under going since 1991 made its appearance as Jungle-like and very terrifying.

Somali football federation is currently waging more efforts on how to have stadium Mogadishu repaired so that it may reposes its former beauty and once again host the games including the national champion ship, the General Da'ud cup and many others that used to be held at Stadium Mogadishu in heydays.
 
It was early 1990s when Stadium Mogadishu first suffered heavy damages when USA and Pakistani peace keepers differently used as military bases from 1993 to 1995 during the failed United Nations peace keeping operation in Somalia.
 
At that time the foreign military powers caused heavy damages on the stadium, but after they vacated from it, Somali national football federation succeeded to repair the stadium and games were able to be held there.
 
But unfortunately Stadium Mogadishu once again turned into a military base in February 2007 when Ethiopian troops who were backing the Somali transitional federal government occupied.
 
The damage caused by the Ethiopian soldiers on the Stadium was much worse than that of the American and Pakistani peace keepers in 1990s and now we can say Stadium Mogadishu's Jungle-like appearance is more terrifying.

Stadium Mogadishu was built in 1978 by Chinese government and it hosted many international games including the 8th Arab students' competition, East-central African nations' cup, East-central African teams' championship and many others.
 
But the first game to exhibit at Stadium Mogadishu after the end of its construction was a friendly game between Somali national team and a Chinese club Leonen.
