The Bank Windhoek Fistball National Cup Tournament will take place this Saturday at the Cohen Fistball Club (CFC) in Windhoek.
The weekend fixtures were confirmed by the Fistball Association of Namibia’s media officer, Helmo Minz in a statement on Wednesday. On match day, hosts CFC 1 and Swakopmund Fistball Club (SFC) 2 are favourites for the Category A and B titles.
Minz said CFC 1 and SFC 2 are defending champions of the national tournament in their respective categories.
“However, the newly crowned League B champions, Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) 2, will be motivated to be another title contender,” said Minz.
Comprising of eight teams, the Bank Windhoek Fistball National Cup Tournament will place teams in groupings based on the placements of the previous tournament. CFC’s first team, who have won the national tournament six times in the last seven years, will meet CFC 2, SKW 2, and Team 2011 in Group A.
“Team 2011 will consist of players that represented Namibia at the 2011 World Championship in Austria,” said Minz.
Group B will see SKW 1, SFC 1, SFC 2, and CFC 3 play against each other for top honours.
The national tournament will also see two youth teams from SKW compete against each other. The awards ceremony of the tournament and the league will take place after the finals.
