Informal football leagues, run by community members, provide a platform to play football. Three popular leagues in Windhoek's informal settlements are still in full swing and aim to conclude their seasons later this year.

A pre-season tournament was hosted at the Samora Machel Sports Field in the Havana settlement this past weekend in Windhoek.

The tournament, which included more than twenty teams from the Samora Machel league, was played over a period of two weekends in a knockout format.
