Somalia Champions

Championships were already organised during Italian colonial rule (at least between 1932/33 and 1939/40) but no further data are known.

 
NB: various of the seasons below (at least prior to 2000) probably
    were fall/spring seasons, but this is only confirmed for the
    championship seasons of Horseed.

1969    Lavori Publici (Mogadishu)           [aka Jeenyo "LLPP"]
1970    Lavori Publici (Mogadishu)           [aka Jeenyo "LLPP"]
1971    Lavori Publici (Mogadishu)           [aka Jeenyo "LLPP"]

1988    Wagad (Mogadishu)
1989    Mogadishu Municipality               [aka Muqdisho]
1990    Jadidka                              [aka Gaadiidka]

1994    Morris Supplies (Mogadishu)          [aka Shirkadda Morris]
1995    Alba

1998    Ports Authority                      [aka Dekedaha Naadiga or Dekadda "Badda"]

2000    Elman FC (Mogadishu)
2001    Elman FC (Mogadishu)

2006-08   not held
2008/09 Banaadir Telecom (Mogadishu)   
2009/10 Banaadir Telecom (Mogadishu)   
2011    Elman FC (Mogadishu)

NB: the 2003 championship was the 34th edition, meaning 4 are missing from
    the list above, presumably in the 1990s.  The 2009/10 edition wa
    the 38th.
    Player profiles at the Elman FC homepage would appear to
    indicate that the 4 national titles they won were not from
    2000 to 2003 but the first in 1997, the second in 1999, the
    third in 2001 and the last in 2003;
    the 2004 championship (reportedly the 35th edition) started in 
    September 2004 but was suspended after a few weeks and not resumed
    until August 2006;
    Elman's entry in the CECAFA Club Cup 2006 was either based on their
    2003 title or the fact that they topped the table when the 2004 league
    was suspended;
    the 2011 edition reportedly was the 36th.
