Namibia Football Association (NFA) match commissioner for the Northwest Stream First Division (NSFD) and the Otjozondjupa Second Division Football League (OSDFL), Usuta Kasenda has called on club officials to improve on their administration.
Kasenda said this in an interview with Nampa over the weekend at the Omulunga Stadium in Grootfontein during the NSFD and OSDFL fixtures.
The match commissioner said club administrators, especially the Second Division teams, need to pull up their socks.
“The games over the weekend were a success because the players are hungry for football. I am hopeful that as the league progresses, there is room for improvement in terms of administration. Most of these second division teams don’t have team returns and teams don’t behave like they are playing in a higher division,” he said, adding that there is a lack of information from club officials to players and most players do not understand how to behave while competing in the second division.
Kasenda also said their local leagues started in late November, but the football on display over the weekend made him hopeful for Namibia’s football future as players displayed exciting skills and composure.
For the NSFD matches over the weekend, Eleven Warriors lost 1-2 against Okakarara Young Warriors, while Oshikuku Young Stars drew two-all against Ongwediva City. Young Chiefs beat African Motto 2-1 while Golden Bees and UNAM Ogongo drew three-all. Touch and Go got the better of Onambula United with a 3-1 win.
