The 8th edition of the annual Katutura Sports Union (KASU) Winter Cup football competition, which was scheduled for this weekend, has now been postponed to 29 August at Khomasdal Stadium.

Speaking to Nampa yesterday, KASU chairperson Kuveri Tjonga said the postponement was caused by unavailability of a stadium this weekend in the capital.

“It remains a challenge to acquire sports grounds in the capital and that forces us to prolong our tournaments. There are no other options but to move continuation dates to month-end,” Tjonga said.

However, the netball competition ended last weekend after Otjinene-based Otjijere defeated their counterparts Okavandje from Windhoek in the final. Dynamos from Ovihitua will be up against Township City in the first football quarterfinals followed by Onembenge facing Otjihitua Tjivi Tjaruru.

Otjijere from Otjinene will lock horns against their Otjinene counterparts, Okauua Rovers in another quarterfinal match. Defending champion Tom and Jerry football team booked their place in the semi-finals last weekend. Besides prize money, the winning team will walk away with a trophy and medals.
