Speaking to New Era Sport yesterday, the club\u2019s chairman Isack Hamata confirmed the team will leave today for Durban and has prepared well for the competition. Hamata also thanked the Namibia Football Association (NFA) and all individuals who made financial and material contributions towards the club\u2019s trip to South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team will leave tomorrow (today). I want to thank the NFA for assisting us with the needed funds to enable us to travel and compete in the inaugural tournament. We also want to take this opportunity to equally thank all football teams and individuals who contributed funds to our trip,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for the girls to be able to compete in this big inaugural tournament. I am sure the competition will open doors for many of them who wish to make it big outside the country.\u201d The competition will also serve as the qualifier to the first-ever CAF Women\u2019s Champions League, scheduled for Cairo later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Group A consists of South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns, Lesotho Defence Force, Manzini Wanderers from Eswatini and Double Action Ladies of Botswana. Only the top two from each pool will advance to the semifinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
