NPL to impose dress code for matches
Namibia Premier League (NPL) chairperson Patrick Kauta says the league will this week send out a circular to all clubs informing them of the dress code coaches and players should adhere to at matches.
Kauta said this on Tuesday during the NPL's weekly media briefing session at the Sam Nujoma Stadium boardroom.
Since the start of the 2017/18 NPL season, teams in the NPL have not allocated individual jersey numbers to players, while certain coaches go to games wearing shorts and sandals.
Kauta said the NPL made a decision during an executive meeting on what dress code teams should follow and a communication would be issued to all Premier League teams.
“A coach, being a representative of a club, should dress up in the club's attire, which is a tracksuit or should secondly wear long trousers, a shirt and shoes.
“We also addressed an issue on clubs using different jersey numbers on a single player. We have warned all clubs to start allocating a single number to a player for the whole season,” Kauta said.
The league chairperson said clubs receive N$650 000 from the league in 10 months and can thus afford to buy jerseys with each individual player allocated their own number.
