Championships were already organised during Italian colonial rule (at least between 1932/33 and 1939/40) but no further data are known apart from the participating (Italian) clubs in 1937/38 and 1939/40.
The first Somali clubs were established in the 1940s, but no organised
leagues were held during the war. One of the main teams was called
Bondhere (also written Bondere; earlier called
SYL "Leego"), established by the SYL (Somali Youth League), which won
the second division in 1958, during the time Somalia was a UN trust area
under Italian administration (between 1950 and 1960).
Other early Somali clubs to be established
were the transport team (Autoparco, later Gaad(i)idka), the Public Works Department
(LLPP (=Lavori Publici)/Jeenyo (from Italian Genio)), Shibis, Hamarweyne
(also written Hamaruine, Amaruine) and Wardhiigley (also written Uardiglei).
The police and military teams became the strongest ones, and as matches
between them resulted in conflict and tensions, they were eventually combined
to form Horseed.
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.

NB: the 2003 championship was the 34th edition (since 1967?), meaning 4 are missing from
the list above, presumably in the 1990s. The 2009/10 edition was 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.
