Netball calls for diversity in sponsorship 0 AKhomas Netball league spokesperson has called on Namibia to diversify its support of sport, instead of just focusing on the popular codes.Taapopi Shiinda, who is the spokesperson of the league which ended last month, said it is not right that the nation appears to be only concerned about the state of football.
“It’s saddening and selfish how our nation can focus on soccer only and not sports as a whole,” she said while discussing the recently concluded league activities of the Khomas Region.
Khomas held three different leagues with FNB Wanderers winning the premier division while NamPol took honours in the first league.
United claimed top spot in the second league.
But while the league finished yet another season on a high, Shiinda feels that things could have gone much better.
“[The atmosphere] was really tense, disorganised and by far the worst in years,” she told Namibian Sun.
She requested netball’s mother body to become more active countrywide.
“Khomas Netball urges Netball Namibia to be more involved as we are the largest and most proactive region in Namibia,” she said.
While the region does not plan to have any more tournaments this year, they are hoping to hit the ground running by at latest early March next year.
