Dream Team lead SWSL after three matches
Women's football at the coast has resumed after a month's study break.
The Swakopmund Women's Soccer League (SWSL) resumed last weekend with their third game of the 2017 season after taking a month's break due to examinations and school holidays.
The 2017 SWSL league kicked off in the middle of July but took a break to allow players to study for their August examinations.
With only three games played so far in the league, Dream Team are top of the log with nine points, while 2016 champions Dragon City are in sixth position with zero points from the two games played so far.
League chairperson Wilson Nguvauva told Nampa that after receiving a N$25 000 sponsorship from Chopsi's Bar they were now able to run their league and teams were reinforcing their squads with new signings.
“We can now start working on making the league bigger so we can feed more players to the senior and junior national women sides,” he said.
Nguvauva added that their goal remains the same - keeping young women off the streets. He said more people should follow the example set by Chopsi's Bar and Swakopmund Uranium, which donated N$5 000.
The sponsorships are used to pay for the use of football fields, the running of the league and the awards ceremony they plan to hold at the end of the season.
The amateur women's football league was established in June 2015 with eight football teams, all based at Swakopmund and Arandis. It has now added a new team from Walvis Bay called United Nations.
Chelsea from Swakopmund and Kavetu's second team are not in this year's competition.
Dragon City, Namib Daughters, Dream Team, Swakopmund Football Club, African Queens, Kavetu, and United Nations are the teams that compete in the league.
Namib Daughters were crowned champions in the league's maiden season.
