Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>After winning the inaugural Bank, Windhoek Ramblers U\/21 Soccer Tournament Kasaona Football Academy owner Uerikondjera \u2018Mamie\u2019 Kasaona said tournaments of this magnitude are essential to sports and youth development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brought the best out of my young players, as we continuously assess their development and progress. The goal is to see the players progress from grassroots to matured nationals and ultimately international players,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Kasaona started the Kasaona Football Academy to keep youths off the street as well as develop young soccer players of both genders.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, 30 April, her academy defeated Ramblers 4-3 on penalties to win the inaugural Bank Windhoek Ramblers U\/21 tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a tough tournament, but we prevailed,\u201d said Kasaona Football Academy\u2019s captain Tuazuvirua Toromba.<\/p>\n

He said they were proud to be part of the tournament as a team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brought us and the fans together, which is a testament that soccer brings people together,\u201d he said after applauding Bank Windhoek for the sponsorship.<\/p>\n

Kasaona Football Academy\u2019s midfielder Ngero Katua won the Player of the Tournament award, while Ramblers\u2019 defender Jack Parker won the Young Player of the Tournament award, and Ramblers\u2019 goalkeeper Josef Philipus won the Goalkeeper of the Tournament award.<\/p>\n

Simon Elago of Swallows, Solomon Negumbo of Ramblers and Muzeu Muzeu of Kasaona Football Academy all shared the Top Goal Scorer award with three goals each. Hosted at the Ramblers Sports Ground in Windhoek, the tournament kicked off on Friday, 22 April, and concluded on Saturday, 30 April.<\/p>\n

Eight teams participated: Ramblers, Athletic Club Football Academy, Sport Klub Windhoek, Deutscher Turn und Sportverein, Fortis Football Academy, Kaizen Football Academy, Swallows Football Club and Kasaona Football Academy.<\/p>\n

Bank Windhoek\u2019s head of corporate social investment and sponsorships Bronwyn Moody congratulated the participating teams for excellent performances during the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a connector of positive change, it is an honour to witness what this tournament meant to the participating teams. We wish the players the best as they continue developing their soccer skills,\u201d said Moody.<\/p>\n

Ramblers Soccer Club vice chairperson Alessandro Micheletti said that the tournament exceeded their expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were super excited to host the tournament, and everything was well organised from all parties involved, including the bank, the clubs, players and fans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
