Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Atletico Football Club won the Makaya Second Edition Annual Football Tournament after Atletico A defeated Open Fire B by four goals to one, and Atletico B overcame Nine Eleven by one goal to nil.<\/p>\n

The competition, which took place at the Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Senior Secondary sports field in the Oshana region from 15-17 September, saw Atletico teams A and B share first place, considering that the team was split into two sides for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Atletico coach Shafa Kambonde stated the team is, in fact, King Kauluma Palace, a first-division outfit, but he used the name Atletico FC to participate in the Makaya tournament as pre-season preparations, allowing him to reduce the squad to at least 30 players because he currently has a big squad.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Nampa on Tuesday, Kambonde said his team comprises a mixture of young and experienced players<\/p>\n

\u201cI always encourage senior players to encourage and motivate the younger player, and I tell the younger players to learn from senior players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kambonde added that the event was well organised, and one thing he appreciated about the competition was that the teams played between 30 to 40 minutes a half, giving players a good platform to improve their fitness levels.<\/p>\n

According to Oshana Village Based Football League chairperson Herman Paulus, Ondangwa Masters eliminated Open Fire Legends 5-3 on penalties, following a goalless draw on Sunday, while Onelago Legends lost to Open Fire Legends in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

Cairo Legends took third place after defeating Onelago Legends.<\/p>\n

Omle Security Services sponsored the event by providing funding, medals and trophies to the champions of each category.<\/p>\n
