With MTC\u2019s generous support, we can now expand our reach, enhance the league\u2019s infrastructure, and provide even greater opportunities for our athletes to showcase their skills on a national stage. As a federation, we are fully aware of the responsibilities that come with this sponsorship.

But with the passion I saw the other day when I attended a match at UNAM, we decided to partner with them because of the passion volleyball players show,\u201d said Ekandjo.<\/p>\n<p>The newly established league will feature teams that won their regional championships (seven active regions currently) and the winners of the annual NVF Cup in both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s competitions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
