THE Namibia Ports Authority (NamPort) has committed N$90 million to the development of sport in Namibia and partnered with the Namibia Football Association (NFA) to advance football development across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNamPort\u2019s commitment of N$90 million over three years is an important investment in the development of sport and in the communities that sustain it. At N$30 million annually, this is the largest annual sponsorship in the history of Namibian football. It carries both opportunity and responsibility,\u201d President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President made these remarks at the handover ceremony for NamPort\u2019s contribution and the official announcement of the NamPort-NFA partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She noted that NamPort is expanding its existing support for regional football across the country, with the authority\u2019s initiatives having reached approximately 720 teams nationwide over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis new investment must strengthen that foundation. It must help our players progress and give clubs the stability they need to develop the game,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She noted that the N$90 million commitment follows NamPort\u2019s N$100 million dividend to the State, announced at its recent Annual General Meeting. She highlighted this as evidence of NamPort\u2019s sound performance and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI congratulate the Board, management and employees of NamPort for stepping forward at this important time. On behalf of the Government and the people of Namibia, I thank you,\u201d the President added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
