The Somali Rowing and Canoe Federation (SRCF) is proud to share the continued progress of our national athlete Abdirahman, who is currently undertaking intensive training sessions in Cardiff under the professional guidance of his coach, Damian Hammond. The structured training program focuses on improving endurance, technical performance, and competitive readiness as part of his long-term preparation for upcoming international competitions.

During his recent visit to Cardiff, SRCF President Said Mohamed Mohamuud Xayd met with Abdirahman and his coach, Mr Hammond, to observe his training firsthand and receive detailed updates on his performance and development. The visit highlighted the federation’s strong commitment to supporting its athletes and ensuring they are well prepared for major global events, including the World Championships and the qualification pathway toward the Olympic Games 2028.

SRCF remains dedicated to building the capacity of Somali athletes on the international stage, and Abdirahman’s determination and progress continue to inspire young talents across the country.
