NFA seeks ownership transfer of technical center

The Namibia Football Association has approached the City of Windhoek to request the transfer of ownership of the NFA Technical Centre in a bid to have the facility revamped through a FIFA funding programme.The talks, which began in 2014, have so far not yielded the desired results, with the association hoping to have the field registered in its name.This week, the association renewed its calls as it aims to unlock FIFA funds that could be used to revamp the stadium.The NFA has been planning to renovate the stadium through FIFA funding but has not been able to access the funds because the stadium is owned by the City of Windhoek.There are now only seven years remaining on the lease agreement, and FIFA will therefore not disburse any funds until the NFA obtains ownership of the stadium.Speaking during a visit from City of Windhoek officials yesterday, NFA interim secretary-general Cassius Moeti said the stadium has outlived its lifespan and requires urgent renovation.“We have the Technical Centre that we have used extensively, and many matches have been played here. I think everyone will agree that the facility has outlived its lifespan of eight to ten years and is not in good condition.“The fact that this facility is in the heart of Katutura means that many people use this field. We are proud to have hosted members of the community, but this facility is no longer able to accommodate them,” Moeti said.Moeti added that FIFA has agreed to provide funding on the condition that the facility is under the NFA’s ownership. “The money is on hold to be transferred to the NFA, but only once the land is transferred to the NFA.”The Namibia Football Association Technical Centre was established in 2010 and has since remained on land belonging to the City of Windhoek.
