Tses to host Spring Soccer and Netball Tournament
The village of Tses in the //Karas Region will host the fifth edition of the Spring Soccer and Netball Tournament on 7 and 8 October.
Tses is situated about 140 kilometres south of Mariental on the B1 road to Keetmanshoop.
The football tournament is open to second- and third-division Namibia Football Association teams and non-league teams, with each team allowed to use two first-division players during matches.
The organiser of the tournament, Thomas Godfriedt Tsuseb, says the idea behind the tournament is to keep young people busy and minimise drug and alcohol abuse.
“We are also trying to market our players to first-division teams by allowing them to showcase their talent,” Tsuseb said.
The first edition was won by Tses Football Club in 2013, with Young Beauties from Keetmanshoop winning the last three editions from 2014 to 2016.
“With the help of businesses, we will be able to compete with the best and keep the young men focused,” he said.
The winner of the football category will receive N$20 000 in cash, a floating trophy and 25 gold medals.
The runners-up will walk away with N$10 000 and 25 silver medals. Semi-final losers will get N$4 500 each, while the top goal scorer will be rewarded with N$1 000. The Man of the Match of each game will receive a gold medal.
The registration fee per football team is N$1 900.
The netball winner will receive N$2 500, a floating trophy and 12 gold medals. The runners-up will walk away with N$1 500 and 12 silver medals, with the third-placed team getting N$1 000 and 12 bronze medals. The registration fee per netball team is N$600.
The closing date for entries is 1 October. The draw will follow on 6 October and will be broadcast live on the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation's Damara/Nama Kaisames radio service.
