The Nedbank Namibian Newspaper Cup will be held at Outjo in the Kunene region next year.
This is after the annual youth sport competition’s organisers awarded the hosting rights to Kunene on Wednesday.
The successful bid marks the second occasion that Kunene will host the tournament, following the 2015 edition when football was the only sport code on the roster.
“We are pleased to inform you that after thorough evaluation of the bids submitted by the //Kharas, Hardap, and Kunene regions, and the subsequent onsite inspections conducted by the NFA, Netball Namibia, and The Namibian Newspaper delegation, the Kunene region has been selected as the host for the 2025 Nedbank Namibian Newspaper Cup,” the Namibia Football Association (NFA) said in its award letter to the Kunene Regional Football League.
“We extend our sincere gratitude to the honourable governor, the regional leadership of football and netball, as well as government authorities and all stakeholders, for their dedication and commitment to hosting this prestigious event,” the NFA continued.
“In the coming days, we will forward the hosting agreement for your review as well as further details regarding the hosting arrangements for the competition.”
Supported by Nedbank, the Newspaper Cup is arguably the most prominent youth football and netball development tournament in the country.
It offers a priceless rite of passage for many starts who go on to shine for the Brave Warriors and Desert Jewels.
