Namibia: Govt Still In Football Matters

Her letter gave the impression she would disband the CEP or disregard its recommendations. Instead, the CEP was on Monday due to meet with clubs which have indicated their willingness to join the NFA's purported new top-tier division. The CEP has already held talks with the NFA and Namibia Premier League leadership.
The committee, which failed to complete its month-long mission by Friday, is tasked with getting the NFA to go back on its decision to terminate the NPL's membership. Fifa said it fully endorses the NFA, as it had followed procedure in expelling the NPL at an extraordinary congress in July. The NFA said it will not reverse its decision.
It remains to be seen how Fifa reacts to the CEP's continuing quest for "lasting solutions" beyond the NFA's realm. Should Tjongarero ignore Fifa and implement whatever recommendations the CEP provide, Namibia will be booted into the football wilderness.
Fifa emphasised that only the NFA will control and supervise all forms of football at national level and ensure there is only one top-tier national league in Namibia. Clubs which have snubbed the NFA's invitation intend to form their own professional league outside the realm of association football.
