Corona delays NFA exco meeting

Sport Reporter WINDHOEK The coronavirus pandemic has led to the delay of the Namibia Football Association's new executive committee (exco) meeting. The meeting was set to discuss the appointment of the acting secretary-general and setting up an extraordinary congress to discuss the association's finances and the suspension of the Namibia Premier League (NPL). In a brief, NFA president Ranga Haikali informed members of the exco that the meeting has been postponed. Haikali said they will now have to wait and assess the coronavirus situation, with advice from relevant authorities, before they can organise these two crucial meets. Proper handover “The new exco has taken over from the Fifa-appointed normalisation committee (NC), but a proper handover still has to take place and this process will be concluded after the state of emergency and lockdown period has been lifted,” Haikali explained. On the agenda The NC handover report, an organogram and staff structure and the appeals committee findings on Young African's dismissal from the NPL are on the agenda. The exco will also approve the budget as well as consider NFA competitions. The competitions include the first and second divisions, NPL, DebMarine Cup, Namibian Newspaper Cup and Dr Hage Geingob Cup. “With regard to the audited financial statements, we intend having the audit signed off by both the NC and the NFA. “We are insisting that the audit be sign off with a 'disclaimer' as the income and expenditures were outside the term of office of the exco,” Haikali noted. Haikali hopeful “Our hope is for the players or footballers to understand the situation of the NFA and hope that going forward post-coronavirus pandemic, the situation can improve.”
