NPL concludes this weekend
The 2017/18 Namibia Premier League (NPL) will conclude this weekend, with various matches being played across the country.
The final fixtures for the last two rounds of the season were made available on Monday.
Speaking to Nampa on Monday, NPL administrator Tovey Hoebeb said the weekend matches will mark the end of the season, which he described as successful.
“The biggest challenges we faced was the infrastructure. Teams had to share venues, and unfortunately as the NPL, our hands are tied on that front,” he said.
The bottom three teams will automatically be relegated from the top flight league.
“With the news in the media from Omuthiya saying that the first division will start soon, the top three in the regional leagues will be promoted to the NPL for the 2018/19 season,” Hoebeb added.
The league's end of season awards ceremony will take place on 1 June at a venue to be announced in due course.
African Stars, currently on 61 points, have already won the league, as they cannot be overtaken on the table
Black Africa is currently second on 52 points and Mighty Gunners third on 48 points.
Saturday matches:
Chief Santos vs Unam FC at the JP Ratledge Sport Complex
