The tournament\u2019s group stages proved tightly contested, as teams displayed their skills and played with remarkable attacking prowess.<\/p>\n

The tournament organisers expressed their satisfaction with the success of the event.<\/p>\n

The Bank Windhoek Ramblers U\/21 Tournament provided a much-needed platform for the young footballers of northern Namibia to exhibit their talent and compete at a high level.<\/p>\n

The chairperson of the Ramblers Soccer Club, Sedric van Turah, said the success of this inaugural tournament has set a solid foundation for the growth of football in Oshakati and the surrounding regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Ramblers executive, I thank the management team of Bank Windhoek, who engaged with us to plan the Oshakati-based tournament. These types of games go a long way to ensuring that youth soccer, up to the U\/21 level, gets a platform for our national team scouts and Premier League teams to be offered the opportunity to see the talent showcased from where the soccer community\u2019s next superstars can be selected,\u201d said Van Turah.<\/p>\n

The tournament gives exposure to youth academy players who could not play in the Namibian soccer calendar\u2019s Second Division, First Division, or Premier leagues.<\/p>\n

Bank Windhoek\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility and Sponsorship Manager, Audrey Mostert, said that as a Connector of Positive Change, the bank was delighted to have witnessed and provided a platform for the northern youth to express their raw talent on the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe young players carry much discipline, focus, and determination. We wish them all the best,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The winners of the three top prizes received football equipment.<\/p>\n
