Swakop Women's League enters second round The second round of the Swakopmund Women's Soccer League is scheduled to kick off tomorrow after a two-month break.
The amateur women's football league was established in June 2015, with eight football teams based in Swakopmund.
During the first leg of the second season, which ended in October 2016, Kavetu Football Club (KFC) from Arandis joined the league with two teams (KFC A and KFC B) that competed against the six teams that had been in the league since its inception.
Dragon City, Namib Daughters, Dream Team, Swakopmund Sport Development Club (SSDC), African Queens and Chelsea are all based in Swakopmund.
Namib Daughters were crowned champions in the league's 2015 maiden season.
The league's chairperson, Wilson Nguvauva, told Nampa on Wednesday that all teams were ready and excited to resume playing.
“Our league is growing. Playing in the league has kept a lot of young girls off the streets, which is a good thing for us as league administrators,” he told Nampa.
Nguvauva said they were working hard this year to find a sponsor for the league as well as registering it under the Namibia Football Association (NFA) second-division umbrella.
“We want our league to grow and currently we are in discussion with business people here to help fund it since we don't have a sponsor.”
Nguvauva said they were also informed of the need to register the league with the NFA second division, although it was already recognised by the NFA women's desk.
The fixtures for this weekend are as follows:
DRC football field, Saturday 11:00
African Queens vs Chelsea
African Queens vs Dragon City
Dream Team vs Chelsea
African Queens vs Dream Team
Dragon City vs Chelsea
Mondesa Stadium will see Namib Daughters take on Kavetu FC (B).
Namib Daughters will again play Kavetu FC (A) and then finish off their day against SSDC.
Next Wednesday at 15:00 at the Hanganeni field Dream Team will go up against Namib Daughters, followed by Chelsea vs Namib Daughters.
