Namibia's national football team, the Brave Warriors, may be forced to continue playing their home games in South Africa for a while.

This is despite the government allocating funds for the renovation of the Independence Stadium.

The stadium was previously deemed unfit for international matches by CAF, who outlined specific renovations required. However, progress on these improvements appears to have been slow.

The lack of football stadiums in Namibia has been a long-standing concern for many years. Hosting Debmarine Namibia Premiership matches at the Dr Hage Geingob Rugby Stadium has resulted in damage to the facility, causing frustration among rugby fans. While the use of the rugby stadium as a solution for top football clubs in Windhoek has generated excitement, it has also sparked controversy.
