NPL awaits marketing boost
The MTC Namibia Premier League (NPL) is likely to have a marketing department before the beginning of next season, league administrator Tovey //Hoebeb says.
The league announced this week that it had appointed Irvine Ndjavera as its new CEO.
But the league has been without a marketing officer since sacking Ivan Tshabalala in June 2016.
Tshabalala lost his position as marketing officer after he went on leave for almost a month without notifying his superiors.
“It is indeed a very important position which needs to be filled as soon as possible.
“The NPL has to strengthen its marketing in order to attract more sponsors and also fans to the stadiums.
“However, now that we have a new CEO, I bet that the position will be occupied,” //Hoebeb said.
The NPL administrator also disclosed that there would be many other vacant positions in the league.
//Hoebeb said although these positions must be filled urgently, they would have to wait for the CEO to settle in before more appointments were made.
“I do believe that the 2018/19 season will come with many new programmes that will benefit the league, clubs and the players.
“There are indeed exciting times ahead for the league and everyone should be looking forward to great things.”
Among other recruitments, the league has appointed committee chairpersons.
Lucas Nanyemba will be responsible for the finance committee, while Niklaas Kisipile heads the audit and compliance committee.
Paulus Ngolombe has been appointed as head of the organisation committee for NPL competitions, while Cyril Isaacs heads the technical and development committee.
The legal department is headed by Franco Cosmos, who will spearhead the legal committee, while Evaristus Evaristus will oversee the medical committee.
Ricardo /Uirab has accepted the responsibility to lead the youth football committee.
