Iiyambo lands Fifa spot

Iiyambo lands Fifa spot Namibia's former national women's football team striker and Fifa Masters graduate Salome Iiyambo recently joined the football governing body.

The former footballer landed a spot as an intern trainee for member associations.

She started her football career as a speedy and tricky attacker in the Rundu College of Education women's football team.

She went on to join the most successful women's football team in Namibia, Okahandja Beauties FC.

During her time there, Iiyambo and her teammates won six national titles.

She is currently employed by the Namibia Sports Commission (NSC) and also coordinates the Okahandja Galz & Goals programme.

In a statement released by Namibia's Women Football Development Desk, Iiyambo is hailed as a great coordinator.

“Salome did not only do well on the field of play but showed great coordination, administrative and management skills already while being a full-time teacher.

“She is one of the top five women in Namibia who are groomed to lead the women's game.

“With a glittering CV, she remains the next big thing in the local female sport arena,” the statement reads.

The desk further wished Iiyambo well in her endeavours and encouraged her to use this experience to improve the game locally.
