The event will begin with a street procession at 07:00, starting from ABC and ending at the Ondangwa Tennis Court. The first game is expected to kick off at 09:00 on Saturday.
Namibian Volleyball Federation (NVF) Secretary General Festus Hamukwaya said that this is the first time in Namibian volleyball history that such an event is being held.
According to Hamukwaya, the Volleyball National League (VNL) was officially launched in May this year, with the first round played in Windhoek.
“The second round took place in Mariental, the third round in Rundu, and the fourth round in Katima last month,” he said.
He added that the league is officially sponsored by MTC with an amount of N$3 million for three years.
Hamukwaya indicated that they have a total of 16 teams, with 8 male teams and 8 female teams.
He called on all sports lovers across the northern regions and the entire country to come out in large numbers to support the players.
