The 9th edition of the Dr. Hage Geingob Cup in Windhoek was a resounding success, drawing a massive crowd of spectators.
The curtain-raiser, featuring Namibian Legends and their South African counterparts, left a lasting impression and sparked discussions about making such encounters between the two countries more frequent.
Newcomers to the Namibian top flight football, Eeshoke Chula Chula beat Debmarine Namibia Premiership Champions African Stars by one goal to nil to lift the prestigious 2023 Dr Hage Geingob Cup at Windhoek's Independence Stadium on Saturday.
The Namibia Football Association's League Director, Mabos Vries, expressed his concerns about the lack of pitch inspection by match officials during the Debmarine Namibia Premiership match between Orlando Pirates and Eeshoke Chula Chula. The absence of corner flags caused a delay of 26 minutes in the Sunday fixture.
In the early hours of Monday morning, players from the Tigers Football Club were involved in a car accident while returning to Windhoek from the northern part of the country. Nelson Akwenye, the chairperson of the football club, provided more details about the incident.
The accident occurred around 1AM, approximately 90km before reaching Okahandja, after the Tigers FC's match against Eeshoke Chula Chula on Sunday. It seems that the accident was caused by a burst tire.
