The event at the GOS headquarters in the Somalian capital of Mogadishu was attended by members of around 20 sporting organisations.

It aimed to "build the administrative capacity" of the attendees.

National course director Mohamed Tarabi led the workshop, which came as part of annual development activities held by the GOS in a bid to strengthen and empower the leadership of the national sports organisations.

GOS President Abdullahi Ahmed Tarabi encouraged those who attended the event to use the knowledge they had gained over the course of the three days to increase their education in their respective roles.

Each participant was awarded with a certificate at the conclusion of the workshop, before the GOS President gave his closing remarks.

"As drawn in our strategy, such workshops will continue, because we know that the continuation of capacity building programmes will add more values to the country's sports activities," said Tarabi.

Farah Ali Moalim, a representative of the Somali Athletics Federation, paid tribute to the work of the GOS.

He praised their "limitless efforts towards the development of sport in Somalia which is now emerging from decades-long unrest and lawlessness".

Somalia has never won a medal at the Olympic Games and sent two track and field athletes to Rio 2016 in August.

Mohamed Daud Mohamed competed in the men's 5,000 metres with Maryan Nuh Muse racing in the women's 400m.

Britain's running legend Sir Mo Farah, the back-to-back Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m champion, was born in Somalia and moved to the United Kingdom at the age of eight.
