NRU to introduce new CEO
The Namibian Rugby Union is expected to introduce its new chief executive officer, Mervin Green, in Windhoek today.
The union has appointed the South African Green as its new CEO on a three-year contract.
Acting CEO Elizma Theron has been at the helm of Namibian rugby for nearly two years.
Green has held various positions at the South African Rugby Union (SARU).
“There is nothing much to say about the appointment now given that everything will be said at a press conference today.
“I am however happy and relieved to step down as the acting CEO after nearly two years.
“I will still remain in the structures of the Namibia Rugby Union,” Theron said in a telephonic interview.
Green's appointment come in a time when the country begins its quest to qualify for the Rugby World Cup in Japan in 2019.
The NRU has also set up plenty of development programmes and a high-performance centre in order to improve the national team's chances of qualifying and winning their first match in the World Cup.
