The Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) is organizing an annual football tournament, featuring teams from Southern Africa. This championship, which will be divided into three pools - A, B, and C, will serve as the second round of qualifiers for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Taking place in South Africa, the tournament will see twelve countries competing for a spot in the Olympics.

Apart from her journalistic work, Gowases also serves on the board of a basketball artist school organization in Katutura. She is scheduled to depart for Johannesburg in the first week of October for the championship.

"This has been a long journey, especially for Female SportsJournalist who are few in this country having been given this opportunity to cover a sports competition at this magnitude is really a great honor for me to represent Namibia representing NBC and the Sports Desk."
