Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Okotjitundu football and netball tournament will take place at the newly restored Gustaf Ngondo Stadium in Okotjitundu in the Okakarara constituency this weekend.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Nampa on Wednesday, tournament organiser Veitunga Viakondo said the competition began in 2019 but was cancelled in 2021 due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event was developed not just for financial reasons but also to nurture fresh talents while offering a platform for emerging youngsters to display their abilities on a larger stage. Many Namibia Premier Football League players today came from this tournament,\u201d Viakondo said.<\/p>\n

He also noted that the event had no official sponsor but rather a committee that joined together and pooled finances to make it a reality in order to help sports in Namibia grow.<\/p>\n

A total of N$30 000 will be given away in the two categories, with N$25 000 going to the football category and the remaining N$5 000 going to the top four netball teams.<\/p>\n

The winning netball team will get N$2 500, the runner-up will receive N$1 500, and the semi-final losers will each receive N$500 for their efforts.<\/p>\n

The football category winners will get N$11 500, the runner-up will receive N$6 500, and the semi-final losers will each get N$3 500.<\/p>\n

Viakondo said the tournament is open and teams from around the country are invited to compete.<\/p>\n

The host, Kwasa-Kwasa Eleven, won both categories of last year\u2019s tournament.\u0632<\/p>\n
