Somalia in Group C
The Somali Football Federation administers Xulka qaranka. Its English national-team page lists no fixture, result or squad, so the CAF group and qualifying windows are the dates available now.
Ocean Stars and Xiddigaha badweynta appear in media coverage. The federation pages identify the side as Somalia.
