NPL resumes on Sunday
Mighty Gunners and Black Africa are the early MTC NPL pacesetters and are currently at the summit of the league.
The MTC Namibia Premier League (NPL) will continue on Sunday, a day after the Brave Warriors clash with Ghana in this year's Dr Hage Geingob Cup.
This is a repetition of what happened last weekend, when the Brave Warriors played Guinea-Bissau in an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier, given that the league matches also continued a day later, even though that specific clash was on the Fifa calendar.
Some players will have to miss league matches this weekend because of national team duty.
Okahandja United will host Civics FC at the Okahandja Stadium on Sunday at 16:00.
The two sides will be eager to register their first three points of the season, given that they have drawn one match each and have also endured a defeat.
Citizens FC travel to the south to play newly promoted Karasburg United at the Karasburg Stadium at 16:00.
Young Brazilians will be eager to redeem themselves at home, given that they are just one point above visitors Citizens who are eighth on the log. Eleven Arrows will look to continue with their early unbeaten run when they host Young African FC at the Kuisebmond Stadium at 16:00.
Unam FC who started off slowly with a defeat and a draw in their first two league encounters will battle it out against Life Fighters at the SKW stadium at 16:00.
Tura Magic FC has a mammoth task ahead of them as they will be hosting log leaders Mighty Gunners at the Sam Nujoma Stadium at 16:00.
Gunners began the season in fine form after back-to-back NPL victories. Orlando Pirates will close off the weekend with a match against Blue Waters at the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Sunday at 16:00.
“Yes I can confirm that the league games will take place as forwarded, given the time we have between now and the Christmas break.
“Football fans must continue supporting their respective teams, even if we also have to support the national team,” NPL administrator Tovey //Hoebeb said.
African Stars will not be in action over the weekend, as they will be travelling to the Comoros where they will play Volcano Club De Moroni FC on 27 November in their Confederations of African Football (CAF) Champions League preliminary first leg match.
Mighty Gunners are currently leading the log with six points, followed by Black Africa - also on six points - while Tura Magic occupies the third spot with four points.
