Namibia to host Proteas in historic T20I

Cricket Namibia (CN) and Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced a historic T20 International match between Namibia’s national men’s team, the FNB Eagles and South Africa’s Proteas.

The event is set to take place on 11 October in Windhoek at the FNB Namibia Cricket Ground at 14h30.

This much-anticipated match will mark the official opening of the FNB Namibia Cricket Ground, the brand-new home of cricket in Namibia.  The action-packed day will feature various activities for fans of all ages.

Gates will open in the morning. 

The day will go down as a milestone moment in Namibian sport. 

Not only is it the biggest cricket event ever hosted on Namibian soil, but it will also celebrate the opening of a world-class stadium that will soon welcome the world.

The FNB Namibia Cricket Ground is set to make history, as it will host matches in both the 2026 ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup and the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

This is the very first time Namibia will host World Cup games.

This encounter will mark the first-ever international match between the two sides – a significant milestone for African cricket.

CN’s CEO Johan Muller added: “This truly is a memorable occasion. The new FNB NCG has been a dream for the last four years. It has finally materialised. A match against our neighbours and one of the top cricketing countries in the world is the perfect way to open this world class facility”.

“I want to thank CSA and specifically their CEO Pholetsi Moseki for agreeing to this match. We look forward to hosting the Proteas Men’s team, and to partner with CSA in hosting the ICC Men’s World Cup in 2027.

“As a fellow African cricketing nation and the host of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, we are proud to support the official opening of this new stadium, which will be one of the host venues of the tournament,” added Muller.
