Netball Namibia (NN) is hard at work as it plans on forming a first-of-its-kind Namibia Netball Premier League. The Netball Premier League will consist of 12 teams from the 14 regions of Namibia.

In an interview with Nampa, NN vice president Rebecca Goagoses said they have not yet come up with a specific date for when the league will kick off, as they still have play-offs that need to be conducted.

“The Premier League will consist of two teams per region – from Erongo, Khomas and Otjozondjupa, which will make six teams, while the rest of the spots will be made up of teams from the remaining 11 regions,” she said.

Goagoses added that 33 teams from the 11 regions will be put into three pools, with the top two from each pool at the end of the play-offs, forming part of the league. “We have not yet decided on the dates for when the play-offs and the league will kick off but we are busy with those logistics,” Goagoses said.

NN received N$4.2 million sponsorship over a three-year period during the multi-million dollar MTC sponsorship, which will see seven sport codes receiving N$54.6 million over a period of three years as from 1 October 2020. – Nampa
