Kavhura tourney for November
The annual Petrus Kavhura Cup will take place in northern Namibia in November.
The tournament will see teams from the Ndonga Linena and Ndiyona constituencies battle for top honours in the Kavango East Region.
The competition was launched last year with the aim of educating the youth about the values of teamwork, fair play and social cohesion.
Football will be the only sport code represented at the tournament and the crowd expects to witness some fine talent on display.
The chairman of the competition, Poulus Haingura, assured the public that the event will be bigger and better this year.
“The Petrus Kavhura Cup also contributes to intellectual, social and emotional development of the youth in our region.
“We want to invite all interested teams in the region to come and play in the tournament and we also like to invite any interested potential sponsors to come on board,” Haingura said.
Gumma Golden City won the inaugural tournament after defeating Hoha FC with one goal in the final.
“The champions were awarded N$2 500 and gold medals with a floating trophy, while the runners-up received N$2 000 plus silver medals.
“The team which ended third in the competition (Young Ntunguru) were compensated with N$1 500 for their efforts and an N$1000 went to fourth place team (Kanyumara),” Haingura said.
A total of 29 teams participated in the first tournament. The organisers expect more teams to enter this year.
