Football feast
A carnival atmosphere is expected at the Sam Nujoma Stadium tomorrow where the Brave Warriors will be eager to impress the head of state by retaining the Dr Hage Geingob Cup.
The stage is set for the Brave Warriors and the Blacks Stars of Ghana to battle it out for laurels, as they face each in the Dr Hage Geingob Cup tomorrow at the Sam Nujoma Stadium at 16:00.
The Brave Warriors go into the match following a goalless draw against Guinea-Bissau in their Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier last Saturday.
Coach Riccardo Mannetti will use his locally-based players, given that the Ghana match is not on the Fifa calendar.
The clash will thus give the Brave Warriors coach an opportunity to fully exploit his local players.
Mannetti said the players are fired up and raring to give the home fans something to cheer about.
The first 5 000 supporters will receive various souvenirs such as caps, T-shirts and other hampers, courtesy of the event organisers and sponsors, MTC, Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL), Huawei, Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) and Air Namibia.
Tickets can be bought beforehand for N$30 each from Webtickets Namibia at all Pick n Pay stores countrywide and at Football House in Katutura.
There will be a 'kick and win' competition involving former goalkeepers versus the fans.
Top local musicians will entertain the crowd before the match, as well as during halftime; and after the match artists such as Gazza, Exit, Female Donkey, Tequila, Tate Buti and The Dogg will rock the venue.
The curtain-raiser will start at 12:30, when the Young Gladiators face their seniors, the under-23s, before the main match kicks off at 16:00.
