Headline Baanadir Stadium in the Abd-Aziz District, Mogadishu

Caption Description After two decades of near-constant conflict, Somalia is enjoying its longest period of peace and growing security since the Al-Qaeda-allied extremist group Al-Shabaab was driven from Mogadishu in August 2011. Under the Shabaab's rule, social pastimes and sports such as football were banned, but residents in areas liberated by the Somali National Army (SNA), supported by troops of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), are now enjoying their freedoms once again.
This photograph, released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team, shows a view of Baanadir Stadium in the Abd-Aziz District of the Somali capital Mogadishu, which has recently been re-surfaced with a new artificial playing surface. Funded by FIFA, the Somali Football Federation has had the 7,500-capacity stadium re-turfed and will soon begin repair work on seats, parking and other facilities that are currently riddled with reminders of Somalia's war-ridden past.
