Community sport, athlete pathways, inclusion, and national representation on the water.
The Somali Rowing and Canoe Federation (SRCF) is the national governing body for rowing and paddling sports in Somalia. We promote and organize water sports while inspiring a new generation of athletes, enthusiasts, and communities.
Mission: We are a people-centered organization promoting rowing and canoeing for all Somalis — with a special focus on girls and persons with disabilities. We create safe, inclusive paddling opportunities that build confidence, community, and athleticism while celebrating Somalia’s deep connection to water.
