Kasu Valentine's Cup continues
Mini-tournaments have become the norm in Namibia lately given that the Namibia Premier League is yet to kick off.
The Katutura Sport Union (Kasu) Valentine's Cup will continue this weekend, with local football giants locking horns.
The first matches of the two-weekend tournament were played last weekend at the Katutura Youth Complex.
The matches have been shifted to the Sam Nujoma Stadium this weekend.
Temper XI and Ajax Otjomisaona will kick off at 18:00 on Friday before Real Madrid entertain Eleven Stars in the second match of the day.
Rising Eagle take on Okombomi, followed by a game between Otjijere and Omandini.
Twelve games will be played on Saturday, including the quarter-finals of the competition.
The semi-finals are scheduled for Sunday morning at 07:00, while the final is slated for 15:00 on the same day.
The football winners will walk away with N$10 000 while the runners-up will take home N$5 000.
The teams that bow out in the semi-finals will receive N$2 500 each for their efforts.
The tournament is worth N$30 000 after receiving sponsorships from Kau Van Rooi Stud, Kakero Urban Planning Consultants and Nation Kavari.
Kasu chairperson Kuveri Tjonga said he was delighted with the quality of football played in the first games.
He also lauded the level of refereeing in netball and football matches at the competition.
“The tournament is now at the stage where it is heating up because the bigger teams will now clash in the next round.
“Last weekend, we saw great football on display and we expect even greater games this weekend.
“These competitions will continue to grow as long as we have the support from corporate Namibia.
“Fans must come in their numbers to witness this fantastic talent here on display,” Tjonga said.
