Clash of titans in premier league
Football
The weekend promises renewed rivalries in the Namibia Premier Football League as some of the country’s top teams prepare for high-stakes encounters.
One of the main attractions is the match between African Stars and Eeshoke Chula Chula, set for Saturday at 16:00 at Windhoek’s Independence Stadium. The fixture has drawn attention for its growing rivalry, even though the teams are not from the same township.
African Stars currently top the log with 17 points, edging KK Palace in second place on goal difference, six to four. Eeshoke Chula Chula sit in fifth position with 14 points.
Stars will approach the match cautiously, having lost to Chula Chula in two crucial finals previously. Their coach, Benedictus Hoaseb, is confident his team will rise to the occasion.
“I can tell you that the players do not need motivation when coming up against Chula Chula. There were so many rivalries in the past, but this one has become very significant in the chapter of Namibian football,” said Hoaseb.
Chula Chula coach John Sikerete is equally optimistic, seeing the match as a chance to challenge the league leaders.
“Yes, we are travelling to Windhoek, and I know that the players will be ready for the match. The team has played well so far, but we can still improve, and the match against Stars serves as motivation,” he said.
Elsewhere in the league, Khomas Nampol will face KK Palace at 16:00 on Saturday at Windhoek’s UNAM Stadium. Coach Fortune Eichab stressed the importance of securing points against a higher-ranked team.
“It will be important for us to play well because we need the points. I have mixed feelings about how we have played so far, but this weekend is crucial as the teams above us will face each other, and we are playing against a team above us,” said Eichab.
