The year that awaits!

This year will see some of world sport’s biggest events feature in a bumper calendar year.When it comes to Namibian athletes and their participation, I really want to see the likes of Christina Mboma, Beatrice Masilingi, Sade de Sousa and Veja Hinda do well.I hope boxer Jeremiah Nakathila will get a world title shot. I would also love to see growth for other boxers such as Charles Shinima, Philipus &#039;Energy&#039; Nghitumbwa, Alfeus ‘Mosquito’ Shaanika, Harry Simon Jr and Flaime Nangolo on a bigger stage.I want Simon Jr and Nangolo to step out and back up their trash talk. They are young, but it would be exciting to see them fight worthy opponents - this will show that they have what it takes.When it comes to football, the likes of Steven Damaseb and Prins Tjuiza are now the future of the Brave Warriors. I hope more players like them can be brought into the set-up. We need to revamp the Warriors squad, but that can only happen if the team gets a chance to take part in friendly matches and so forth.In terms of the Namibia Football Association, I beg for stability and cohesion.I further hope MTC will spread its wings and continue to bless other sport codes, and I&#039;d love to see other corporate companies follow suit.I hope that the women;s and men’s senior indoor hockey teams bring medals home from Pretoria’s Indoor World Cup.Furthermore, seeing the national rugby team win a match for the first time on a World Cup stage is something I really hope to witness.In addition, I hope that the Debmarine Premiership gets better in terms of organising and disseminating news, and that the way players are treated improves.I’m hoping for a bigger and better sponsorship for para athletes in order for them to perform on a bigger stage.All in all, I pray that this year&#039;s sports calendar is exciting and that Namibia can thrive.If you would like to be featured in the column section, send an opinion piece on any sport topic to limba@namibiansun.com.
