WINDHOEK – President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Issa Hayatou has praised the Namibian Government and its people for their commitment and unwavering support in realising the country’s dream of hosting the 9th edition of the CAF Women’s Championship.

Speaking at a glittering gala dinner in Windhoek on Monday evening, Hayatou, whose speech was delivered on his behalf by Molefi Oliphant, the chairperson of the CAF Women’s Championship, said Namibia had every reason to be proud of the journey it has travelled in organising the first ever African Women’s Championship on Namibian soil.
Hayatou emphasised the importance of African governments supporting women’s football, saying Namibia in particular, through its professionalism and good organization, has just set a benchmark in the overall development of the women’s game.
“On behalf of the entire CAF family, I want to assure the Namibian Government and its people that the tournament started well and it will end well. CAF will make sure the Namibian edition of the women’s championship goes down as one of the best and well organised tournaments,” said Hayatou.
Minister of Youth, National Service, Sport and Culture, Jerry Ekandjo, thanked CAF for according Namibia an opportunity to host the prestigious event and also giving the country a chance to prove its ability to host similar or bigger international events going into the future.
