COSAFA course sharpens Namibia’s football admin team Erasmus Shaliahxwe The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA), in partnership with the Namibia Football Association (NFA), has trained 30 football officials through a week-long administration and management course held in Windhoek. The NFA confirmed over the weekend that the participants included members from its regional associations and staff from the secretariat.  The five-day course was facilitated by Ashford Mamelodi, a former FIFA development officer and a seasoned instructor accredited by both FIFA and CAF. NFA interim secretary general Cassius Moetie said the training was crucial for football personnel involved in the daily operations of football in Namibia.  “This COSAFA administration and management course for NFA staff, including our regional coordinators, is long overdue,” he said. Moetie praised Mamelodi for his honest and detailed delivery on football development and administration.  “Ashford Mamelodi was brutally honest in terms of football development, administratively and from managing football from grassroots, academies, third, second and nationwide first divisions up to the top-tier leagues and national teams,” he said. He described Mamelodi as a vital figure in African football.  “Ntate Mamelodi is an absolute fine product of African football development, and I am inclined to believe that Southern Africa does not exploit his expertise and exposure enough to improve governance, administration and the operations at member association level,” said Moetie. He added that COSAFA has also facilitated courses for referees and a strategic leadership workshop for NFA executive council members.  Local under-15 teams also benefited from the Fast Footie Programme, held as part of the U20 COSAFA Championship Tournament’s legacy activities.

Ngarizemo backs premier league breakaway from NFA Erasmus Shalihaxwe Young African Football Club chairman Maleagi Ngarizemo has backed calls for the Namibia Premier League (NPL) to become independent from the Namibia Football Association (NFA). Speaking this week, Ngarizemo said the league has reached a critical point and must embrace independence to drive growth and secure long-term sponsorships. “By transitioning to an independent structure, the NPL can enhance self-sustainability, attract greater sponsorship, and elevate the competitiveness of Namibian football on the continental and global stage,” he said. He pointed to global examples, including the English Premier League and South Africa’s Betway Premiership, as proof that self-governance works.  These leagues, he said, manage their own commercial rights, negotiate broadcast deals, and roll out development programmes.  As a result, they bring in more money, improve infrastructure, and strengthen clubs. He said Namibia must follow this model, as dependence on external governance weakens the league’s ability to innovate and raise funds. “Independence would empower the Premier League to attract major sponsorships, an independent league can directly engage corporate partners, offering tailored sponsorship opportunities that benefit both brands and clubs. This financial boost would improve player salaries, stadium facilities, and marketing reach,” he said. He explained that independence would allow clubs to build their brands and secure their sponsors.  This, he said, would create new revenue streams from merchandise, ticket sales, and broadcast rights, and reduce reliance on unstable funding. With more money, Ngarizemo said, clubs could invest in coaching, scouting, and youth development, raising the level of competition and boosting Namibia’s performance in African tournaments. He added that an independent league could also enhance the fan experience. “Independent leagues can implement modern fan engagement strategies, digital platforms, and high-quality broadcasts, making the Premier League more attractive to viewers and investors.” Calling on stakeholders to act, Ngarizemo said the success of football in countries like South Africa, Morocco, and Zambia shows what Namibia could achieve. “Stakeholders, including NFA, Sport Commission, Clubs, Sponsors, and Government, must support the Premier League’s transition to independence immediately,” he said. “We must take control of our football destiny as club owners; an independent Namibia Premier League will create opportunities for clubs to grow, attract investment, and ensure long-term sustainability. The time for change is now, and clubs must note that they are the custodians and shareholders of the league and not those running the NFA, so this decision lies fully with us.” He urged NPL clubs and football leaders to work together to create a governance and funding model based on transparency and accountability.

NFA-Debmarine spat escalates  The Namibia Football Association (NFA) has accused the CEO of Debmarine Namibia, Willy Mertens, of tarnishing their image and defamation of character following their public spat that burst into the open this week. Following the conclusion of the 2024/25 Debmarine Namibia Premiership and prize-giving ceremony on Saturday, Mertens issued a statement the next day, saying that they did not feel respected or valued by the NFA leadership. “Our wish is that the NFA leadership, although absent today, would start to value, respect and appreciate sponsors, and put the development of football, the welfare of the players, and the interest of the clubs above their personal objectives,” he said. “We, at Debmarine Namibia, as a sponsor, certainly did not feel respected and valued by the NFA leadership – especially over the past two years. Only then will we move football forward in this country,” he added. The NFA yesterday, however, issued a statement through its interim general secretary, Cassius Moetie, saying that Mertens’ statements tarnished the NFA’s reputation. “The Namibia Football Association wishes to inform its members, its clubs, its players, its sponsors, key stakeholders, and the public that it was caught by surprise by the regrettable statement by Willy Mertens. “While we, at the NFA, value our partnership with Debmarine Namibia, certain assertions made by Mertens misrepresent the character and stature of the association. Left unaddressed, these inaccuracies risk unjustly tarnishing the NFA’s reputation and the upward trajectory of Namibian football,” Moetie said. Moetie said that the NFA operates under ‘clearly defined principles and objectives,’ and that the sponsorship funds from Debmarine Namibia ‘have always been allocated strictly in accordance with the agreed terms, ensuring that the intended beneficiaries, players, coaches, and officials receive their due support.’ “Our strategic direction is guided by internal governance processes. While the NFA president already addressed this matter, the association reiterates its commitment to pursuing its objectives without external pressure or undue interference,” he added. Moetie also took issue with Mertens’ statement that the NFA leadership was absent at the prize-giving ceremony. “In the unavoidable absence of the NFA president and vice president, the NFA was represented by executive council members Michael Situde and Laurence Kandundu, with myself, as the interim general secretary. It is particularly disconcerting that such statements were made at the NFA awards ceremony at which event Debmarine Namibia participated as an NFA sponsor,” Moetie said. “We find the suggestion that the NFA disrespected Debmarine Namibia both surprising and regrettable. Our sponsorship agreement creates a contractual framework for protocols of internal engagement, at which platforms Debmarine Namibia could express its views to find amicable outcomes, but certainly not in public. This was below the belt,” Moetie added. Moetie further rejected the allegation that the NFA leadership prioritised personal objectives over the welfare of clubs, players, and referees. “These claims are defamation of character of the NFA leadership that have a direct impact on the NFA brand with its football products we sell to potential sponsors,” he said. When approached for a comment yesterday, Debmarine Namibia through its communication manager, Stella Ipinge, clarified that the disrespect felt was as a result of the way in which the association handled the last match of the 2024/25 (Young African vs African Stars) season, in that the NFA changed the kickoff time without notification to the sponsor.  “We hosted the VIP booth for stakeholders and communicated the match starting time as 16h00 as confirmed by the NFA.  We arrived at the stadium on time but learned that the game had been moved to 17h30 without notifying us about the late kickoff,” she said. Regarding the absence of the NFA leadership at the prize-giving, she said Debmarine Namibia was referring to their top brass. “We were unhappy about the absence of the NFA’s top leadership without informing us – the president and the vice president, who were also not present at the 2023/24 prize giving and the launch of the 2024/25 league,” she said. Ipinge confirmed that their three-year sponsorship with the NFA, which amounted to about N$50 million in total, had now come to an end and the NFA is aware of the conditions which they committed to in November 2024 under which Debmarine Namibia would consider renewing the sponsorship, but so far Debmarine Namibia has not been approached by the NFA. NFA president Robert Shimooshili yesterday confirmed via WhatsApp that they hoped to continue with the sponsorship. “That’s what all the Namibian football personnel want; it is the wish of the entire nation to have this sponsorship renewed,” he said.

NFA-Debmarine marriage on the rocks Debmarine Namibia chief executive Willy Mertens slammed the Namibia Football Association (NFA) on Saturday, saying they do not feel respected or valued by its leadership. Speaking at the prize-giving ceremony of the Debmarine Namibia Premiership on a cold winter’s night at Independence Stadium, Mertens said the company’s relationship with the NFA has become quite chilly. “Our wish is that the NFA leadership, although absent today, would start to value, respect and appreciate sponsors, put the development of football, the welfare of the players and the interest of the clubs above their personal objectives,” he said. “We, at Debmarine Namibia, as a sponsor certainly did not feel respected and valued by the NFA leadership – especially over the past two years. Only then will we move football forward in this country,” he said. Mertens called on the NFA to launch an independent league as part of a transformation project that was lagging behind. “It is time for the league to transcend to the next stage of becoming independent from the NFA, and we hope the NFA leadership will make their commitment a reality. We believe an independent model will be the only way to attract and retain sustainable sponsorship for the league. We had hoped the transformation project would be far advanced by now.” CALL FOR FIFA GUIDANCE When contacted for comment, NFA president Robert Shimooshili said they are working on establishing an independent league, but called for guidance from world governing body Fifa. “I am out of the country and I’m not aware of Mr Willy Mertens’ comments other than what I picked up from social media. About an independent league, that is what all top-tier football personnel would like to have realised, but the past historic abnormality emanating from the top-tier league doesn’t go well with our international mother body Fifa, which is guiding, managing and monitoring in line with their existing statutes managing all 211 members’ associations, including the NFA of Namibia. “Therefore, we would like to get their guidance, if Namibia is ready or not, but at the beginning of the season they warned NFA and other countries about third-party influence and they reminded NFA about the past situation and advised that the NFA needs to normalise its football in totality before it rushes to an independent top-tier league,” he said. “The NFA is working on it and calls upon all Namibian-related stakeholders to hold hands to ensure our top-tier league becomes an independent league very soon.” Shimooshili said the NFA respects and values Debmarine Namibia’s sponsorship of football in Namibia. “The NFA and its rank and file members, as well as all football families acknowledge, respect and appreciate Debmarine Namibia and its leadership for the commitment and investments they have contributed to the game of football over the past years. “Debmarine Namibia and the NFA are economic and social partners, and the NFA would like to see many more entities contribute to social stability and development through football and follow the good example set by Debmarine Namibia,” he said. “Some entities are still reluctant to contribute to football where our youth will be the primary beneficiaries, while it will also contribute to economic growth. We need to play football in all 14 regions and 121 constituencies of Namibia simply because football unites and brings communities together, and football contributes to economic growth and development, poverty eradication, and hunger reduction. “The NFA wants to make the job of our politicians easier by uniting the people through football. Therefore, we urge football families to set negativities and differences aside and work together towards the development of the game.” Shimooshili said football politics must be avoided at all times. “Let’s allow the NFA to fulfil its mandate as a custodian of football in the country to manage, administer, control and monitor football, as well as to develop the game,” he said. INVESTMENT In his speech, Mertens said they have invested about N$50 million in the Debmarine Namibia Premiership over the past three years, which has empowered the NFA to strengthen league operations, improve remuneration for players and technical staff, referees, medical personnel, guesthouses, and lodges at various towns, as well as transport service providers. At the same time it has extended the reach of football across Namibia, he said. “Our involvement, as mentioned earlier, commenced with the NFA Cup in 2015, and extended to support for the Brave Warriors, Brave Gladiators as well as African Stars and the Tura Magic Ladies Team when they competed in the African Club competitions. This amounted to close to N$80 million over the past 10 years,” Mertens said. “Beyond the pitch, this investment has had a profound impact on livelihoods, employing 877 individuals across various roles, including technical teams, security personnel, medical staff, stadium workers, accommodation providers, transport services, referees, and vendors. “This number mirrors the workforce of Debmarine Namibia, reinforcing our belief in the transformative potential of our contributions. Just as our natural diamonds touch hearts worldwide, our investment in football touches lives right here at home,” he said.

More than 10 000 young people in third division – Hamata  The newly-established regional third division has enlisted close to 10 200 young people plying their trade in the division, which has been introduced countrywide, says Namibia Football Association (NFA) spokesperson Isack Hamata. Talking to Desert FM recently, Hamata said the regional third division leagues across the country has 29 streams. “If you have one third division, let’s say in the Hardap, Ohangwena or Omaheke region, you have two or three streams in those regions and you can double the number of streams in each region, you would have a clear understanding of how many players are roped in. “One of the impacts of the now fully functional NFA regional third division leagues is that it keeps young people away from their obsession of simply playing with PlayStations, instead of taking part in formal structured football leagues,” Hamata said. “We thank our sponsor, the Namibian Ports Authority (Namport), which has assisted us to have the regional third division up and running,” he said. Hamata said Namport also sponsors the second division leagues, including the regional women’s football league countrywide. “It’s a massive boost for us to be able to have football played in an organised fashion, thanks to Namport. “Had those streams not been created, where would those footballers be?” he asked. “It means they were either going to play ‘bush football’ – unrecognised, therefore denying them the chance to play formal football and to be in the running for whatever national or regional team age group.” Hamata referred to the Nedbank Namibian Newspaper Cup requiring that participants play for an NFA-recognised structure to be selected for a regional or national team. “These players have an opportunity to play organised football which puts them in contention for selection in the national and regional teams,” he said. “Football being the leading sport code obviously has the biggest number of people who desire to play organised football. After much contemplation and much deliberations, soul searching and consultations, including constant streams of requests to be part of organised football, we decided to have formal regional football leagues. “Where you look at the limited amount of opportunities that young people have to play football, it was then decided to establish third-division streams in each of the regions so we can have our young people play formalised football,” he said. Hamata said many young Namibians play football, but not all have the same level of talent. He said the third division was established to ensure that young people play football continuously, “because it is only by playing a lot of football that they are able to sharpen their skills and coaches are able to see which of the players are able to be put in pools”. Hamata said by introducing regional leagues, players would be provided a proper foundation for progress. He said through the the third divisions and women’s regional leagues, the NFA can track down players through its records and fight off age-cheating in the process.

Gertze calls for more resources for women’s football  A lack of resources contributed to Namibia’s elimination from the Cosafa u17 Girls Championships according to Jacky Gertze, the head of women’s football of the Namibia Football Association. Namibia gave a stunning display to beat the Comoros Islands 10-0 in their final group match on Tuesday, but then missed the semifinals by the narrowest of margins as Mozambique pipped them by a single goal to the knock-out stages.  Namibia had earlier lost 3-0 to group winners Malawi, to finish second in Group A on three points and a +7 goal aggregate, but Mozambique, who finished second in Group B, also on three points and a +7 goal aggregate, pipped them to the post as the best runner-up after having scored 11 goals compared to Namibia’s 10.  Gertze yesterday said a lack of resources contributed to inadequate preparation for the tournament.  “The big difference is in terms of keeping your elite group together, putting them earlier into camp, letting them train, resource them in terms of nutrition, in terms of best training grounds and best conditions in terms of medical care and having them ready for competitions like this – that would have made a big difference. My biggest concern is resources around youth football teams, resources around bringing the coaches in, helping the coaches to get the teams earlier into camp, that was, for me, the difference in the Malawi match and as a football association, what we are trying to do is to look at the limitations of the resources,” she said.  “Our u17 team missed out on the semi-finals by a single goal, so it shows you that we have the talent, but it doesn’t also help that we only look at the football association, but there’s no resources coming in supporting our systems because it costs money to keep them in camp. It costs money to give them the best nutrition, it costs money to bring coaches in to work with the girls,” she added.  “But generally we are very proud of the girls, and for them to miss out on the semis doesnt necessarily make me sad because we know the realities on the ground. Our girls fought so hard, they scored 10 goals, and they created  records along the way,” she said, referring to captain and striker Nancy Lebang who scored an astonishing seven goals to draw level with Uganda’s Juliet Nalukenge (vs Comoros, 2019) and Zambia’s Mercy Chipasula (vs Lesotho 2024) as the only players to have netted seven goals in a match at the tournament.  “We already knew that players like Nancy of V Power Angels, Tamara Hangula of Okahandja FC, Joy Goses of Julinho Athletic and Cherifa Garoes of Unam would stand out because they get regular game time at their clubs in the Super League, which is a tough league to play in for a young girl. But we already know the rest of the group are girls that played in the u15 CAF Schools tournament last year so they are still very young, and for them to play at a higher level now, they would need a longer camp to prepare adequately, so that they get the right endurance, the right training, the right nutrition and the right mindset before they get into a competition like this,” she said.  Gertze said they have regular regional leagues throughout the country to identify talent but called on corporates to come forward with financial support.  “All these leagues cost money and for us to bring these young girls together, you’ll have to go through the school system of getting them released, missing classes and so on. So it means its very difficult to bring them together in this age group, so we need to find resources to keep them fit and training with regional or zonal coaches, or coaches at schools and the academies,” she said.  “But what do we do with our holiday programmes or mid-term breaks, because then we have the Namibian Newspaper Cup for u20 boys, so we also need to bring these girls together then, but we need to get resources to do this,” she said.  The post Gertze calls for more resources for women’s football  appeared first on The Namibian.

Kunene vows to build on Newspaper Cup success Kunene Football League chairman Marshall Gomeb says they will use the momentum generated from winning the Nedbank Namibian Newspaper Cup to fuel their development efforts. The region claimed honours for the first time in the under-20 men’s football competition’s history after defeating Kavango West 2-0 in an entertaining final spectacle that had spectators on their toes for most of the game on 21 April. The victory also marked the first time a woman coach, Mammie Kasaona, had led a side to Newspaper Cup glory. Speaking to Desert FM recently, Gomeb said the focal point going forward is to ensure that they remain competitive through the introduction of football academies in the region. “We are here for the love of the game. The current governor, Vipuakuje Muharukua, promised to be aggressive in the development of football,” he said. “With the introduction of the football academies in the region, they will serve as the feeders for the third division regional football league.” It will also ensure that several players of the historic Newspaper Cup-winning side get regular game time to remain sharp ahead of next year’s title-defence, Gomeb said. Kunene’s regional football leadership also intends to scout for talent in all seven constituencies for potential talent to replenish the current team. “We will build on the current winning champions. To successfully retain the trophy, the current crop of players will take part in tournaments,” he explained. “Well thought of preparation is vital and we have no intention of jumping in with no strategy but start preparing very early for next year.” Kunene Football League chairman Marshall Gomeb. Photo: Contributed Following another limp group exit when the competition was held at Gobabis, in the Omaheke region last year, Gomeb said the Kunene regional football hierarchy immediately began working on a solution to improve their fortunes. “We held a meeting on the very day the final took place,” he said of how the plan to conquer the tournament took shape. Part of the grand plan was to rope in a coach with a youth football profile. “We decided to plan very early for this year’s Newspaper Cup. Gobabis was the turning point for us as a region. Yes, we tried to get hold of both the players and coaches at the time,” Gomeb said. “We approached Kasaona and it turned out that she was the most qualified and we decided to try and see what she can do. Oh, and did she not deliver? “She owns a football academy and also coached during the Rhyno Cup at Sesfontein and now works as an assistant coach for the Debmarine Namibia Premiership club Blue Waters.” The Newspaper Cup’s success has seen the region’s residents united in rallying behind the team. “We have now agreed to work together and bring in more members for the regional third football division where we can select new talent for the future,” Gomeb said.

Outjo councillor urges football coaches to dream bigger Erasmus Shalihaxwe Outjo Constituency councillor Johnny Asino has urged local football coaches to aim high and pursue opportunities beyond Namibia’s borders, encouraging them to dream of leading major international clubs. Asino delivered his message on Monday during the opening of the Namibia Football Association (NFA) Introductory Coaching Course currently taking place in Outjo.  The week-long course has attracted 25 aspiring coaches. He said football is a global sport that connects people across continents and cultures, with players and coaches moving between clubs around the world. He encouraged Namibian coaches to adopt the same global mindset. “You don’t have to confine yourself to this level, you don’t have to tell yourself that this is Alfa and Omega…I am done,” said Asino.  “We want to see you coaching big teams in our league, even the Brave Warriors. If others are coming here from other countries to coach in our league, why can’t you also, after this course, take it as a stepping stone to go further and get the international coaching license to coach teams like Sundowns and other big teams like Manchester United?” he asked. He said the participants’ decision to invest in their coaching development is already proof of their determination, but urged them to push further and compete at the highest levels of the sport. Outjo will also host the 2025 Nedbank Newspaper Cup during the upcoming Easter weekend.
