Khomas prepares for Newspaper Cup

Khomas prepares for Newspaper Cup The Khomas Region has appointed a regional technical team to prepare its under-20 football team ahead of The Namibian Newspaper Cup.

The tournament is slated for Mariental in the Hardap Region from 19 April to 22 April this year.

The technical team was appointed a week ago following a decision by the Khomas Football League (KFL) executive committee.

Dawid Morgan will serve as the head of delegation to the tournament, with Fortune #Eichab as the team's head coach, deputised by Tobias Immanuel.

Michael Kanundura will serve as the technical advisor, while Dawid |Gôagoseb takes up the team manager position. Jakobus Steyn will serve as kit manager, while Daisy #Awoses will serve as team medical officer.

Speaking to Nampa on Sunday, |Gôagoseb said they would start with preparations and the selection of players yesterday, explaining they plan to perform well with the identified talent.

“This time we must go all out to win the cup for our people in the region. We have assembled a very good technical team, who know each other very well and have worked together in different youth structures, and I believe they can do the job for us,” |Gôagoseb added. He noted that due to some players being called up for the national u-20 team last year, the region faced difficulties assembling a good team, but will bank on the experience of some players who played in previous editions of the competition this time around.

“We have a few experienced players who were also part of the junior national teams and will add a few from the u-17 Skorpion Zinc (Cup) team,” he said.

Khomas holds the joint record of most victories, with the Omaheke Region, winning the cup four times.
