“We are ready to host the tournament as a school,” he affirmed.
Speaking on behalf of Classic Sport Betting, Angelina Immanuel indicated that the partnership is more than a sponsorship — it’s a commitment.
“A commitment to empower athletes, energise events, and invest in the future of Namibian sport and culture,” she added.
She said that as Classic Sport Betting, they are not just spectators but partners in every goal scored, every race won, and every moment that brings pride to the people.
