Players of various age groups, from youth to veterans, managed to fund their trip to compete in the championship.

All players were responsible for covering their own expenses, including transport, accommodation, affiliation fees, and spending money. 

According to President Blaauw, the last time the Federation received assistance from the Namibia Sports Commission was seven years ago, with an amount of N$20,000.

Blaauw mentioned that they wrote to the Sports Commission requesting assistance but were later informed that no funds were available.

Blaauw further noted that while the government provided a bus, the players had to pay for fuel themselves.
