Opening doors
Five Namibian football administrators have left for England on a familiarisation visit, which is principally about opening doors for local players.
The management of Katutura-based Arcadia Football Club (FC), in partnership with RMG Sports Academy, is conducting a weeklong familiarisation tour of Eldon Celtic FC, based in Reading, England.
Recognised as the official partner of Reading FC in 2005, Eldon Celtic have a reputation across Berkshire and beyond of success within grassroots football.
The team of five local football administrators - Richard Gamiseb, Ntsoeta Nephthali, Cliff Ntsoereng, Mathew Haikali and Finatus Mutiwali - left Namibia on Sunday and will return on 27 May.
The tour is aimed at fostering a relationship that will be mutually beneficial to both clubs.
Haikali, who is one of the co-owners of Arcadia Football Club, which also has a youth development structure, said last Thursday the trip is a way of opening up doors for upcoming Namibian footballers.
“What we are looking at is creating relations where our young players can get a chance to play friendly matches with the young players from Eldon”.
“These matches can be played here in Namibia or our teams can travel to England,” he said.
Haikali said opportunities of this nature are good, as they expose young Namibian footballers to how the game is played at a professional level.
