Village teams compete in charity games

NAMPA Eight village teams from four regions competed in a football tournament to raise funds for the Lifetime Difference Youth Association (LDYA) at the Khomasdal stadium last week.The LDYA is an entity aimed at promoting youth development programmes through motivational speeches and public lectures.In an interview with Nampa on Wednesday, organiser Veneruru Mieze said the event saw teams from the Kunene, Otjozondjupa, Erongo and Omaheke competing in friendly games.Opuwo-based Okambari Kautjo defeated Western Tigers from Omatjete 5-4 on penalties after a one-all draw in the first game of the evening.In the second match, Pehi-Pehi from Okakarara locked horns with Okondjatu-based Nxaire and Pehi-Pehi went on to win the game 6-5 on penalties after a goalless draw.Two Epukiro-based giants, Renamo Bucks and Otjimanangombe, faced each other in the third game, with the latter overcoming their rivals 1-0.The last game of the evening saw the clash between two Otjinene-based teams, Otjinoko and Ehungiro. Otjinoko won 2-1.“Considering the current economic status, we thought of hosting these friendly football matches, so that we can generate money to continue motivating and promoting youth countrywide,” Mieze said.He added the money generated at the gate will help the association to host a business workshop scheduled for 14 November 2019 at the Xwama traditional restaurant in the capital.
