Speaking to NFA media on the Congress, Robert Shimooshili highlighted the importance of football leaders meeting and engaging.
“The atmosphere is great as FIFA members are excited about the gathering and are eagerly anticipating the different discussions on the agenda points. This is the biggest gathering of football leaders across the globe, and we are here to learn on new ideas on how we can better develop football in Namibia starting from grassroots initiatives to elite football for both men and women football.
Kudos to FIFA for being incredible host, FIFA arranged football matches for all its members, whereby Members association presidents, delegates and legends of the game played entertaining football which is line with the FIFA vision of “Football unite the world”.
