The highly anticipated 2023/24 Debmarine Namibia Premiership is set to kick off its first round of fixtures this weekend, featuring eight thrilling matches that will take center stage. 

The official fixtures for this weekend were revealed during a draw held on Monday at the NFA Soccer House.  As the premiership season is just beginning, there will be a break to accommodate the CHAN Qualifiers, scheduled to take place from the 22nd to the 24th of September. This break will allow players to represent their national teams and compete in this prestigious tournament. 

When asked about this decision, NFA League Director Mabos Vries explained that it was a strategic move to ensure the smooth running of both the Debmarine Namibia Premiership and the CHAN Qualifiers. By scheduling a break during the qualifiers, players can fully focus on representing their country before returning to the domestic league action.
