FIFA Secretary General, Mattias Grafström, expressed his sorrow on the sudden passing Charles Siyauya, the General Secretary of the Namibia Football Association (NFA).

Grafström said the late Siyauya was highly respected in African football and with NFA’s Executive Council, he played a vital role in advancing and developing the craft.

“That is a task he undertook with great commitment and passion. On behalf of FIFA, I extend my sincere condolences to the people of Namibia, the NFA, and his family and friends during this difficult time,” he said.
