No new developments at NPL 0 The Namibia Premier League maintains that they are not aware of any developments regarding the commencement of the league and a financial bailout.The league’s spokesperson Cassius Moetie said in a media release that the information published in a daily newspaper on Monday held no truth.
He indicated that if any development arises, the public will be informed appropriately and with no delay.
“I am reminding the public, especially the Namibian football enthusiasts that the tradition and culture of the NPL as far as its communication strategy is concerned is one of proactively sharing of information, and if there were any such developments that we, in the NPL were aware of, the League Office would have convened a media conference inviting all media houses to break such good news,” he said.
He stated that the league management would not hold on to “great and positive news if the media exert constant pressure on them, while certain sector of the public accuses the NPL leadership for having failed football.”
“Once we in the NPL are officially engaged and informed about these developments, Namibia will be informed properly and appropriately without any further delay of such good news,” he said, adding that the public be rest assured that the management committee of the NPL is leaving no stone unturned in constantly knocking at the doors of the private sector and public enterprises; and ‘we are optimistic that someone will see the value of our noble intensions wishing to associate its brand with that of the Namibia Premier League.”
He stated that the leadership is aware that the NPL brand suffered unnecessary pain of late and are appealing for calm and patience from the entire value-chain of football.
