NPL teams called to Otji Fest
The football organiser for the upcoming Otji Festival, Joshua
//Hoebeb, has pleaded with Namibia Premier League clubs to register for the tournament.
So far, only nine local teams have indicated their interest to compete.
The Otji Fest entertainment festival will take place at Otjiwarongo on 30 September.
The event will be held at the Paresis and Mokati stadiums, where a variety of entertainment and sport events will be hosted.
Football, music, car spinning and boxing will feature at the festival, with a line-up of local and international artists.
The football will take place on Saturday with 32 teams affiliated to NFA leagues expected to compete for a grand prize of N$150 000.
The runners-up in the football competition will receive N$100 000, with a prize of N$35 000 for third place, and N$15 000 for fourth place.
The entry fee for football teams is N$5 000.
“The Namibia Premier League teams have yet to confirm their participation, but I would like to urge them to come and register.
“We know that the league could possibly start soon and I strongly believe that this tournament can serve as a pre-season competition for many clubs that have not been active.
“There is time for any team to register for this tournament because we will likely close registration by the end of this week,” //Hoebeb said.
Tickets for the event will be sold at all Pick n Pay outlets. Tickets will also be sold at the gates, but at higher cost.
Advance tickets for adults cost N$100, while N$150 will be charged at the gates for those without tickets.
Children's tickets cost N$30 in advance and N$50 at the gate, with teenagers paying N$70 in advance and N$100 at the gate.
