Khomas clubs celebrate Africa Day
Twelve clubs will take part in the Africa Day Under-15 Khomas Youth Cup at the NFA Technical Centre in Windhoek from Thursday to Sunday.
The event to commemorate Africa Day will become an annual event supported by Coca-Cola and this year will have three groups of four teams each competing.
NFA first vice-president Ludwig Nunuheb was the main speaker at the launch last week and commended the organisers and sponsor for their efforts.
“Your commitment and that of Namibia Beverages translates into action speaking louder than words and putting your money where your mouth is. Youth development remains key to football development in this country and worldwide and your support today is immense,” Nunuheb said.
Nunuheb also explained the significance of the tournament starting on Africa Day.
“Africa Day presents an opportunity for Namibia and in particular the youth of Khomas to reconnect and recommit themselves in support of all government interventions to develop a better country, continent and world.
“This competition is not only addressing the government's call for youth sport development, but it is also addressing the call for job creation, as coaches, referees, medical personnel and others are groomed through this competition,” he said.
Group A consist of Swallows B, Royal, Pama Chiefs and Football for Hope; Group B is made up of Khomasdal Football Academy, Namib Eagles, Arcadia and Otjomuise; in Group C are Swallows A, Galz & Goals, Physically Active Youth (PAY) and We Love Africa (WLA).
The matches will start on Thursday at the NFA Technical Centre at 08:10 when Swallows B take on Pama Chiefs.
