Kasu to warm up winter
The Katutura Sports Union (Kasu) has been hosting local football and netball tournaments in Windhoek over a decade and will bring the second leg of the tournament over the weekend.
The first leg saw the conclusion of the netball games with Truck netball team walking away with the first prize of N$ 5000.
The aim of the tournament is to attract local players who do not have a chance to play premier league football and netball in the country, hoping that they will be scouted by local coaches.
Kasu chairperson Kuveri Tjonga has been at the helm of the union for more than ten years and says that the tournament has been growing in leaps and bounds.
“Kasu has grown and I can tell you that more teams have been registering to play in our competitions. So far this year, Kasu has hosted the Valentine's Cup which saw local teams challenging each other for top spot.
Many of the teams playing in Kasu tournaments originate from rural villages, but the players are mainly based in the capital.
The teams mostly originate from Aminuis, Otjinene, Ovitoto, Epukiro and resettlement farms around the country.
Tjonga announced that Kasu would host more tournaments this year to entertain football-starved fans.
Winners of the football tournament will walk away with N$10 000, second place holders will receive N$5 000 and third price holders will receive N$2 500.
Local coaches are encouraged to turn up at the tournament as they might scout talented players.
