Haingura excited by Kavhura Cup

The chairperson of the Petrus Kavhura competition, Poulus Haingura, has expressed excitement over the commitment individuals have shown towards the tournament.He said that the presence of people from Kavango East Region at meetings has raised the spirit of the tournament. “There was a meeting held at Ndonga Linena regional counsellor's office.“The aim of the meeting was to discuss the competition sponsorship updates, and registration fee for participation,” he said. Haingura confirmed that the organising committee has agreed to open the registration for participating in this competition from 1 August. It was also agreed that the due date for the registration will be at the end of September. “The launching of this cup competition will be held in October before the kick-off.“Petrus Kavhura Cup is a recognised competition under the Namibian Football Association (NFA), Kavango East Second Division and recognised by the ministry of Sport.”Haingura maintained that the competition is not a money making tournament, but more like an academy for the youth in rural areas.The competition was launched last year with the aim of educating the youth about the values of teamwork, fair play and social cohesion. Football is so far the only sport code represented at the tournament.Gumma Golden City won the inaugural tournament last year after defeating Hoha FC with one goal in the final.A total of 29 teams participated in the first tournament. The organisers expect more teams to enter this year.Jesse Jackson Kauraisa
